More about: Pond

Pyched-out Aussie water-dwellers Pond are about to make the intrepid journey from the sunlight-scorched soils of Tasmania to the soggy, boggy turf of the UK. Before that, though, they’ve shared a new video for their track ‘Hand Mouth Dancer’, plucked from their forthcoming live album Sessions, available 8 November via Marathon Artists. 

The brilliant new video captures Nick Allbrook in all his enigmatic glory, bursting in trademark technicolour and artistic expression. Press play here:

About the release of Sessions, Jay Watson elaborates: ”We wanted to capture how the band has been playing live lately and commit that to tape while we were in the middle of a long tour. As you play the same song for years, or even as a single tour rolls on, the way you play the songs mutates. Little inflections and fills become part of the song, and the structures and even the overall feeling and intent of the songs change. I always loved listening to my favourite bands ‘Peel Sessions’ and wanted something of our own in that vein.  We hope you dig it!"
