Pond have shared a brand new single, ‘So Lo’, which can seem on their upcoming album Stung!. It follows earlier cuts ‘Neon River’ and ‘(I’m) Stung’. Test it out beneath.
“I believe Gum was simply messing round on guitar taking part in one thing enjoyable and tacky after which realized it could possibly be cool in a form of chilly, concrete, No-Wave manner,” the band’s Nicholas Allbrook shared in an announcement. “I wrote the road about white dreads whereas ready for a bus in Tottenham – perhaps there have been some hippies round, perhaps there weren’t, who can actually say the place hippies are or aren’t at any given time… The phrases have been ‘all these tablets acquired me breaking in two’ however once I first double tracked the vocals they have been a bit out of time and gum thought I stated, ‘these tummy tablets acquired me breaking in two’ which made us snort, and thus, by the legal guidelines of Pond, grew to become official. Among the lyrics are unhappy truthfully, about watching your future as you’d imagined it evaporate earlier than your eyes – being haunted by ‘a toddler as brittle as paper’. Gum thought I used to be saying ‘sexy badger, brittle as paper’ however that was a bridge too far, even for us. This track form of skirts between being horrendously bleak and actually dumb. The vocoder Gin and Gum placed on ‘so European’ completely kills me.”
Stung! is about for launch on June 21 through Spinning Prime.
