Song:Giant Tortoise
Album:Hobo Rocket
Pond is a spinoff of the Aussie neo psychedelic band Tame Impala. Tame Impala leader Kevin Parker hires musicians for touring. Singer Nick Allbrook, guitarist Shiny Joe Ryan and drummer Jay Watson formed Pond as a loose collective in 2008 in Perth, Australia as something to do when they weren't touring. Their first couple of albums were home recordings with very limited distribution. They got more serious with the 2012 album Beard, Wives, Denim. They were now on Parker's Modular label and he was producing. Pond also played South By Southwest and other music festivals to critical acclaim. This convinced Allbrook to leave Tame Impala to concentrate on Pond. Ryan and Watson are members of both bands. Jamie Terry was the fourth member and drummer James Ireland was added in 2016. Giant Tortoise is from the 2013 album Hobo Rocket. Neo psychedelia fans should check it out. Pond now records for Universal in Australia and the British label Marathon Artists in the rest of the world. Parker still produces their albums. They released the album Sixteen Days last summer and toured to support it. Allbrook, Ryan and Watson have all recorded solo albums. Here's the video for Giant Tortoise by Pond.
