Pond offer a skerrick of hope in a hostile world with a new record – their 11th – Terrestrials. A cyclone of urgent, scorched earth rock’n’roll, Terrestrials tips the hat to the sounds of then while squarely facing up to the here and now.

Conceived from a place of reverence for a particularly potent epoch in Oz rock, Terrestrials mines the sound of open sky melancholia, heat haze sizzling on the plains and jangly pub backrooms that hits an eternally poignant nerve for anyone familiar with the sound, time and place. From there Terrestrials evolved and the idea of “Goths at the pub” became the record’s stylistic north star – iconic 80s Australiana being acid-washed with the eyeliner-stained post-punk of Sisters Of Mercy, Magazine and the like.

Pond is Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, Joe Ryan, Jamie Terry, James Ireland.

Terrestrials was produced by Pond, mixed by Jay Watson and James Ireland.

Tommy Newport is a British-American singer crafting infectious, falsetto-laced indie anthems that blur eras and borders. Blending psych-pop shimmer, sun-soaked soul, and off-kilter cool, Newport has built a global following around his elastic melodies and unmistakable voice.

He stepped fully into his own with his latest album Mister Domino, a bold, technicolor statement released on the heels of his debut at Lollapalooza. Featuring the fan-favorite single “Tangerine”, the project captures Newport at his most expansive, balancing playful experimentation with razor-sharp songwriting. His recent singles “Nancy Dancing” and “Risky Business” signal the sound of an artist moving effortlessly with intention into his next chapter.

A magnetic live performer, Newport has toured extensively across North America and Europe and appeared on two platinum-certified releases: “Red Sky” from 21 Savage’s American Dream, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and “Comes & Goes” from BigXthaPlug’s Take Care. He has also collaborated with Grammy-nominated duo EARTHGANG and rising indie star Baby Nova.

Newport’s work has earned acclaim from The FADER, Complex, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, Pigeons & Planes, PAPER, Lyrical Lemonade, and COLORS, with support from Zane Lowe, Elton John, and Gilles Peterson.
