Modern psychedelic rock has a lot it could thank Perth, Australia for.

Perth’s mellow rock scene has kept the fire of rock n’ roll a’burnin’ the last few years, yielding a stupendous amount of limelight talent. Most notably (and thankfully), have been Tame Impala and Pond.

Since the formation of Pond in 2008, the musical collective’s used their voice as a means of honeyed expression, releasing easy listening tunes at the intersection of psych rock and synthy pop. Yesterday, March 20, Pond’s latest release “The Weather” was no exception.

In all their glory, Pond is back, produced once again by the Tame Impala mastermind Kevin Parker.

Pond’s latest tune is the third to be released from their impending album The Weather and is the follow-up to their last full length Man It Feels Like Space Again released in 2015. 

In the album’s initial press release, frontman Nicholas Allbrook explained the group hopes to bring to light, “all the dark things underneath the shimmering exterior of cranes, development, money and white privilege.”

“At the end of all this confusion in our weird little white antipodean world,” Allbrook said,

THERE’S THE BEACH, PURITY
AND NATURE THAT BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER

Daaaaamn is he right and luckily, “The Weather” succeeds in taking its listeners to this space. Pond’s latest single is capable of transporting one wherever they may want to go, whilst opening up a wide range of new colors and smells along the way. Something Pond’s perfected over the years.
