Pond - Psychedelic Mango (2008, Australia) Space Funk


I was reluctant to post this for a while, ever wary of shameless self-promotion. Then I realised it's a fucking blog, post the damn thing - so here we are.

Pond are a collective of hairy, sexy men and women that are all riding the bigger groove. They started out when the 3 core members, Paisley Adams, Shoshef Orion McJam and Wesley Goldtouch (aka Wiry B. Buddha) took mushrooms and wrote a whole bunch of songs for a gig they had to play. From there the pond ecosystem bloomed with lucious flora and exotic faunae and this recording was made.

I have something of a cameo role on this album (the voice of god) and most of it was written and recorded before I even joined the band. So with that in mind I can say without blowing my own horn that this album is tits, my two favourites are the super funky 'mick manmoose' and the token prog epic album closer 'Bees'. Although every song on here is sweet, in fact I'm considering right now changing my two favourites to the psych/folk/chutney funcastle 'pyschedelic mango vision' and the towering psychedelic inferno of triumph 'don't look at the sun'. Hopefully you dig as much as I do anyway.

And if you do dig you can buy a copy here from local Perth label Badminton Bandit for only 10 bucks Australian! But first you should listen:

thanks singham. dave gave me this album for free, so i didn't pay $10.. but i'll totally give you $10 in exchange for a t leg shirt. also, if you're still having trouble with megaupload, you might perhaps like to try mediafire. they don't dick you around with waiting 45 seconds, either. party is gonna be sick

Ahhhh I wish I had more T-leg T-shirts to give out. Andrew is the presser and possessor of shirts so you'll have to hit him up.

I got all my tech on now, I'm gonna stick with megaupload for now because their links tend to stay up longer than most.

By the way I have a copy of the whalehammer dreamtape sessions for you, I'll give it to you at christmas.
