Pond -- "Fantastic Explosion Of Time"

I rarely write about a record after one listen, but for this band I will make an exception. Pond are a great  little psych band from Perth, Australia. Formed in 2008, like everything in this small world in which we live, I happened to "know" this band before I ever heard them. This is due to the fact that Pond is made up of a few members of Tame Impala, a band that I also adore. Anywho, this newest album by Pond: Beard, Wives, Denim, is thoroughly kickass. Ever felt like you grew up in the wrong generation? Ever wished you grew up in the acid trips of the summer of love AND/OR the cocaine induced era of late 70s glam-rock? If you answered yes to the last two question then this is the record for you. "Fantastic Explosion Of Time" kicks off Beard, Wives, Denim, and it could be one of my favorite album openers of the year. It just totally knocks you out with pure rockage... (I know... rockage is not a word). I expect a huge following for these guys in the future.

Note: refrain from rocking your head too much.. may cause a headache.
