Pond<\/a> have shared their \u201cmelancholic, searching\u201d new single \u2018Through The Heather\u2019 \u2013 check it out below.<\/p>\n

The Australian psych rockers\u00a0are preparing to release their 11th\u00a0studio album \u2018Terrestrials\u2019 on June 19 via their own imprint\u00a0Mangovision\u00a0(pre-order here<\/a>), and\u00a0they have already released the record\u2019s title track<\/a>, as well as \u2018Two Hands\u2019.<\/p>\n

Now, they have released \u2018Through\u00a0The\u00a0Heather\u2019,\u00a0a track that\u00a0was conceived during the band\u2019s European tour last year, when drummer\u00a0James\u00a0\u2018Gin\u2019 Ireland\u00a0was experimenting on Ableton.<\/p>\n

The song is built around gently twinkling guitars and a dreamily melodic synth line, and you can check out the video here:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Frontman\u00a0Nicholas Allbrook has said:\u00a0\u201cSometimes rock and roll is a glamorous game baby, but\u00a0mainly it\u00a0isn\u2019t. Funny that such a beautiful, melancholic, searching song was born surrounded by chip packets and track pants in a van full of filthy pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had so much fun making the spring reverb thunderclaps, giving the spring a cheeky little pinch to make it go BOOM, looking out over the Indian ocean from our porch\/studio in Seabird while\u00a0MasterChef\u00a0played silently in the corner. Let that be a lesson to all you young rockers ok? Can\u2019t get too inspiring ya know. Gotta keep a lid on it. Chucking on the telly or making a samwich or having a nap should do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Pond\u2019s last album was \u2018Stung!\u2019 in 2024, itself a follow-on from\u00a02021\u2019s\u00a0\u20189\u2019. In a\u00a0four-star review<\/a>\u00a0of that album, Rhys Buchanan wrote for\u00a0NME: \u201cIt can be a risky game to throw yourself into so many\u00a0different styles\u00a0on a record, let alone within individual songs. Yet \u2013 from Bowie to Kurt Cobain and William Burroughs \u2013 artists of all kinds have found joy in such surrealist methods of cutting up their work and putting it back together.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHaving\u00a0perhaps taken\u00a0their psych-pop to the edges of what\u2019s possible, Pond\u00a0deserve\u00a0this moment. Hopefully, it proves a gateway to a new era for the band that keeps on giving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pond have shared their \u201cmelancholic, searching\u201d new single \u2018Through The Heather\u2019 \u2013 check it out below.
