Song:Zond
Album:Man It Feels Like Space Again
The Aussie band Pond is a spinoff of Tame Impala. Pond should be of interest to Tame Impala fans because the music is similar. They are from Perth, Australia. Jeff Parker records all of Tame Impala's music in his home studio. He plays all the instruments. His record label asked him to form a band for touring. Nick Allbrook and Jay "Gumby" Watson were in the Tame Impala touring band. Allbrook and Shiny Joe Ryan were with Parker in the band Mink Mussel Creek. When that band split up, Parker started Tame Impala. Allbrook and Watson had no input to Tame Impala's music. So they started Pond with Ryan so they could make their own music. It was only supposed to be a side project. But they had success when they released the 2012 album Beard, Wives, Denim on Modular and they played music festivals in the US. Allbrook left Tame Impala in 2013 to concentrate on Pond. Watson is still in Tame Impala's touring band. The 2015 album Man It Feels Like Space Again was released on the British label Caroline. It was their most successful album to date. They released The Weather in 2017. Pond will be of interest to fans of neo psychedelia. They still work with Parker. He produces their albums. Allbrook and Watson have released solo albums. Pond still seems more like a side project than a full time band. Allbrook seems happy with that. Pond goes on tour in November. Here's the video for Zond by Pond.
