Even
if you're from the most insular, incestuous musical scene in the most
isolated city on the planet, people will still stand up and take notice
if the music you make is as good as POND's.
Come January, 27th the world will get to experience the band's new album, Man It Feels Like Space Again - their most striking statement to date.
In its 45 minutes, the album covers an extraordinary amount of ground. Opener 'Waiting Around For Grace' sounds like an FM pop hit beamed in from a nearby planet, all wonky propulsion and giddy hooks - the perfect opening blast. Lead single, 'Elvis' Flaming Star' stomps like a '70s glam band coached by Bowie, before collapsing into and out of a mid-tune daydream.
