The second sonic onslaught from the forthcoming album by Pond is called ‘Xanman’, and it’s out today worldwide. Ripped off their fifth album ‘Hobo Rocket’ (out August 5th in the UK through Modular), the song has long been a part of their notoriously wild live show, and is now available for the first time in recorded form, as a stream below or single for purchase.

An introduction to the world of ‘Hobo Rocket’ came with previously unveiled track ‘Giant Tortoise’.

Listen here:

‘Hobo Rocket’ is the fifth LP from Perth, Australia based five-piece Pond. Made up of Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, Cam Avery, Joseph Ryan and Jamie Terry, the band set out to make a record that captures a portion of rock music’s great, decadent history through a personal lens. Known for their brutally raucous live shows, Pond have captured that intensity on record, cramming as much loose, live emotion into a 40 minute album as possible.

‘Hobo Rocket’ will be out August 2nd (AUS), August 5th (UK/EU), August 6th (USA).

2012’s ‘Beard, Wives, Denim’ is available via Modular Recordings.

“I toyed with the idea of titling this blog ’50 reasons why ‘XanMan’ by Pond is the greatest rock record of the year’. And then following it up next week with one called ’50 more reasons why ‘XanMan’ by Pond is the greatest rock record of the year’.” NME

About ‘Giant Tortoise’:

“…decidedly Mercury Revved up psych terrain; blissed out verses, fiery hooks, harmonized riffs.” Stereogum

“…wild and wooly, but also prone to moments of placid greatness.” Spin

“stadium-sized bliss and a cathartic closer” The Fader
