Tripping along on a solid piece of Australian psych-rock!
âIt's a winningly demented mix of ADHD garage rock, wonky psychedelica and massive, foot-on-monitor guitar riffs.â (Q MAGAZINE)
âPondâs fifth album, Hobo Rocket, bristles with unrestrained creativity and sonic exploration!â (NME)
âHobo 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! â (HUMO)
A solid piece of Australian rock-ân-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 â13). Pond rose to the top of the psychedelic pool in the slipstream of Tame Impalaâs success and their last two albums â âBeard, Wives, Denimâ and latest issue âHobo Rocketâ â 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, âMan, It Feels Like Space Againâ, 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 psychĂ©dĂ©lique en provenance de Belgique ! Sorti des pools du Humoâs Rock Rally, Yawns est parvenu Ă arracher une place en finale grĂące Ă sa fuzzy pop 60's. Son premier single s'intitule « I Want To Go Where Nobody Knows My Name » mais si le quatuor continue Ă sortir des galettes de cette qualitĂ©, il lui faudra bientĂŽt aller bien au-delĂ de nos frontiĂšres pour donner raison au titre de sa chanson. En dĂ©pit du nom du groupe, ce n'est pas ce soir qu'on risque de s'endormir Ă l'AB Club !
