Australian psych pop/psych rock band POND have unveiled their new single “Skyworks“ and its accompanying music video.
The track is the final preview of their highly-anticipated new album ‘Terrestrials‘, out tomorrow, June 19 via their own imprint Mangovision via Secretly Distribution. Buy your copy here.
Speaking about it, frontman Nicholas Allbrook says: “The skyworks happen every year on the day Australia was invaded and claimed by the crown. They explode over the river in a gaudy display of drunkenness and patriotism, sponsored by the Lotto. We love a flutter. The river is bejewelled with magical glittering lights, and loud bangs that remind some of canons and muskets. The river is ablaze, magic, filthy, like a Hieronymus Bosch picture, strewn with bottles and shit in the morning. It’s a confusing time for a confused people. Joe Ryan wrote the main chord progression for this one and then it grew in weird ways”.
