‘Tasmania’ is the psych experimentalists’ eighth studio album
Pond have announced their forthcoming studio album ‘Tasmania’, which drops on March 1.
The record, co-produced with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, is dubbed the “sister” album to the Australian psych band’s 2017 release, ‘The Weather’.
A press statement describes the new record as a result of “an undercurrent of restless, anxious dread in a sheen of light, apathetic content — both real and parody — rather than wallowing in self-pity, encouraging us to celebrate the fruits of our planet, frolic in the ocean, kick up the dust, roll in the grass and enjoy the feeling of being in love — while we still can.”
‘Daisy’, the third single to be released from the album following ‘Burnt Out Star’ and ‘Sixteen Days’ in 2018, is out now. Watch the accompanying video below.
