“It's a winningly demented mix of ADHD garage rock, wonky psychedelica and massive, foot-on-monitor guitar riffs.” (Q MAGAZINE)

“Pond’s fifth album, Hobo Rocket, bristles with unrestrained creativity and sonic exploration!” (NME)

“Hobo Rocket is geen Kinder Bueno maar een serieuze lap muziek. Pond serveert een opwindende mix van psychedelica, rock, maar vooral prog: King Crimson is nooit veraf! “ (HUMO)

A solid piece of Australian rock-‘n-roll! Pond, from Perth, travels the psychedelic road, just like compatriots Tame Impala, and they also just borrow a few members along the way - multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson and frontman Nick Allbrook (ex-Tame Impala since ’13). Pond rose to the top of the psychedelic pool in the slipstream of Tame Impala’s success and their last two albums – ‘Beard, Wives, Denim’ and latest issue ‘Hobo Rocket’ – released them from the shadow of their big brother entirely.

On that new album, they serve up a hypnotic mix of prog, Beatlesy psychedelica and indie-rock with a big wink toward bands like King Crimson and Yes! The Hobo Rocket had only just passed through atmosphere when the five Aussies were already prepared for a another new launch, ‘Man, It Feels Like Space Again’, on the Modular Recordings label of Cut Copy, Wolfmother, The Avalanches and Tame Impala (of course).

It'll be a great trip in AB, just in time for summer!

Yawns

Un super divertissement psychédélique en provenance de Belgique ! Sorti des pools du Humo’s Rock Rally, Yawns est parvenu à arracher une place en finale grâce à sa fuzzy pop 60's. Son premier single s'intitule « I Want To Go Where Nobody Knows My Name » mais si le quatuor continue à sortir des galettes de cette qualité, il lui faudra bientôt aller bien au-delà de nos frontières pour donner raison au titre de sa chanson. En dépit du nom du groupe, ce n'est pas ce soir qu'on risque de s'endormir à l'AB Club !
