Australian psych pop/psych rock band POND have returned with their new single “Neon River” and its accompanying video. The band have also announced an extensive 2024 tour, full dates are listed below.
The song is out now out now via Spinning Top Records and follows the 2022 deluxe edition of their sixth studio album, 9. Grab it here.
Speaking about it, the band said:
“This is a full on Pond Gemini song. Kinda tumbles through bucolic Gum [Jay Watson] larping, into Nick [Allbrook] in maximum Aerosmith spandex mode, with a brief detour into some kind of shoegaze instrumental section. The chorus is about the hollow half dead riverside shuffle of so many pre pawns of years gone by.”
