Here is the video for Pond's 'Fantastic Explosion Of Time', directed by AMJC.

The band's fourth album, Beard, Wives, Denim is an audio diary of ten friends' strange, terrible and blissful time in the country trying in vain to be a wholesome family band. It sounds just like it, distorted and woozy and fractured and ultimately nostalgic and loving. Mixed by Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) and Rob Grant at Poon's Head Studio in Perth, said record will be out on Modular Recordings March 2nd (AUS), March 5th (UK/EU), and March 6th (US). Pre-order now, Mod Shop, JB Hi Fi.

Pond will be touring across America with Oberhofer throughout March and April. The 5-week tour will take in SXSW, dates below.

What happens on tour stays on tour, or so the saying goes. Party-makers The Swiss decided to ignore this age-old decree and kept a careful diary of the shenangians as they whirled across Europe playing 10 cities in 15 days in support of their recent offering 'Double or Nothing'. Check it out.

Get your copy of said release: iTunes (AUS), iTunes (US), Mod Shop, Piccadilly and stay tuned for more news - and tunes - from the boys this year.
