Tasmania received incredible acclaim, with Uncut choosing it as their Album of the Month saying “Allbrook, much like Bradford Cox or even Bowie, has a knack for conveying the beauty and madness of the human condition in his lyrics and performance” and labeling it “POND’s slickest effort so far”. In their 4* review Q said “Nick Allbrook’s rapier-sharp lyrics ensure that they still have their own livewire personality” while NME called it “ridiculously ambitious” in another 4* review.
Tasmania follows the release of 2017’s acclaimed record The Weather. A defining statement for POND, the rapturously received The Weather was a fearless and intriguing document which laid the blueprint for the kaleidoscopic array ideas exhibited on Tasmania. Since the release of The Weather, POND have toured the globe extensively, performing their biggest headline shows of their career thus far.
Tickets for the band’s upcoming live dates are available from http://www.pondband.net.
