Sound it Out # 22: Pond - "Moth Wings"

I’ve been thinking about getting a medical marijuana prescription for my insomnia, and it occurs to me that that's probably also the only thing that would make Pond sound even better to me than they already do. I’m confident that no bud was spared during the two weeks they spent in an remote farmhouse making their new record Beard, Wives, Denim.

Pond shares a few members with fellow Australian stoner rock band Tame Impala, who we featured here last year. My favorite song on the new Pond record is“ Moth Wings”, and I challenge you to listen to it and not shake your thing.

P.S. Yes, there was also a terrific Portland, OR band called Pond back in the 90’s.

  Me too. They had cool one-word song names like all the other PNW grunge era bands but without the high production values and record sales. Too bad, they seemed pretty cool. I would have bought another record.
