triple j Weekly Additions – w/c January 12

FEATURE ALBUM:

Pond – Man It Feels Like Space Again
[EMI]

The Perth band’s sixth LP, a 45-minute blender of its members’ other projects: Mink Mussel Creek, Allbrook/Avery and Tame Impala, continues to push the envelope for fervently-produced psychedelia. Co-written by the band’s three songwriters – Nick Allbrook, Joseph Ryan and Jay Watson, Man It Feels Like Space Again is just the type of sonic caprice you’d expect from an outfit who enlist the warped genius of Ben Montero to create the bulk of their promotional artwork.

Man It Feels Like Space Again is out Friday January 23 through Spinning Top and lines up perfectly with the band’s tour with Laneway Festival, where TMN will be front-and-centre.
