POND - 9 (The Making Of)

[@LanceVanceDance84]

The best band in the world, hands down.

[@stephenphilippslfcfan]

Certainly the best at matching experimental side of things, with quality in Aus. In terms of actual "bands". Dunno about the world, but yeah they're up there for me

[@albatross1988]

Wow that was a fast 16 minutes...could watch these guys talk about their work and process for hours. Great documentary!

[@cheeseco]

Man.. It feels like space again.. These guys are the new rock'n roll and they've been for years. Terribly underrated band!

[@GoogleUser-ms6hr]

I love how they just show their literal ears when shiny Joe is talking about how Kevin jay and Jamie are good at mixing/producing

[@mcgovney6969]

Nick is a modern day Bowie. They are an album or two away from being HUGE!!! 🤙

[@michaelmarks9002]

Ive said the same. Such a badass

[@onenineightfour5837]

So is Matthew Dear!

[@avedic]

This album is far and away their best....and that's saying something. The whole world is sleeping on this band big time. They've put out so much amazing music. For me, The Weather was a real high point. But this album exceeds that. Their songwriting style I think is key, and something I've always done making my own music...jamming for hours, then mining for the best bits, and creating songs from THAT. Makes every single moment nothing but ear candy...and super catchy and creative and weird...but with a real smooth flow to all of it.

[@oyahthefirst]

It's going to be wild watching everyone go all the way back down their catalog. I look forward to the day.

[@LanceVanceDance84]

I hope you're right, but I've got a feeling that they'll never truly break out or escape the shadow of Tame Impala. As it is, many people who have heard of them (which is still a pretty small number) on a surface-level basis think they're either just Kevin Parker's live band and/or one of his side projects (I've seen people actually give _him_ sole credit for being the "genius" behind Pond). Another reason I have doubts that they'll make it big is from personal experience when playing their music around others; whenever I introduce someone to their work, they either love it or can't get into it whatsoever due to it being too "weird", and unfortunately, the latter is the typical reaction people have. I'm very fortunate to have a few friends who love 'em just as much as I do, but I feel that if they were truly going to get big they would have by now; their past three albums have been chock-full of songs that should've gone completely viral and taken the world by storm. With each new album I always think to myself, "This is it, this is the one that'll finally put them over the top", but sadly I'm always proven wrong.

[@johnbgriffinjr116]

Best band in existence bar none! There’s a reason I have the Beard Wives Denim Pond logo tattooed on my right shoulder! 9 is a freakin’ masterpiece boys… thank you!

[@HutchIsOnYT]

MASTERPIECE. Can not wait to hear this album get toured.

[@onenineightfour5837]

Excellent, met the band in person and these guys are the real deal.

[@aidanhardingbradburn3225]

joe's twelve string dan electro is a thing of beauty

[@thorn99thorn]

5:55 y'all better release those tapes

[@benanderson6542]

9 is my album of the year. It would be awesome if your tour finds you in Seattle. Saw you guys at the last Sasquatch and it made me a super fan.

[@LanceVanceDance84]

Couldn't have put it better myself. The Weather was also the high point for me right up until this album came along. I love all of their material, but that album along with this one hold a very special place in my heart. They have such a knack for taking well-known sounds/styles and actually creating something unique and interesting with them. There aren't many artists nowadays who can successfully pull that off, at least not in the mainstream, which is where these boys belong.

[@sumsaudi]

this is my favorite pond project. rambo, plastic sole/gold cup, and toast are such an incredible trio of tracks to close the album

[@Tom-ko8qg]

Album is an instant classic in my eyes. Bloody brilliant stuff

[@joshk2533]

Can't wait to see these lads in Manchester. Phenomenal band.

[@てれさ-g4u]

I love this band so much.

[@williamhaslam8901]

Pond is so underrated

[@corban48]

I'm proud to say I'm from WA. You guys are legends.

[@cemegonuts]

Gum on the screechy keyboard gets my thumbs up! 😁

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

The gang seem to be really heavily leaning on the Funk side of things for this one, and I am all here for it! I was bopping like crazy to "Americas Cup". I actually legit wanna learn how to play that on bass. They seem to be the happiest they've ever been and that pleases me to no end. Hoping they come to Bristol (UK) real soon. I've wanted to see them live for years.

[@kulisi-adventures]

Love the new songs... come visit Tonga 🇹🇴 when things settle down a bit. 'Ofa atu

[@lospinkrosas3191]

This is really interesting, I love being able to see your creative process. Great album by the way!

[@tanhellv]

great album! especially gold cup plastic sole blow my mind, thx guys

[@ToutiAit]

By far the best I've heard in 2021

[@chea.5416]

[@goldensunbird]

This sounds like exactly what I need in my life right now! ✨

[@lucila5466]

They're everything that's right with the world 💜

[@nostalgic324]

My favorite song is Czech Locomotive. It's been on repeat all weekend, I love the feeling. The entire album is fantastic!

[@josbangs]

Cool doc - cool album. Love seeing the process of music making. Great that they produced and mixed it themselves too

[@coldacre]

Nick waxing lyrical on how little lock-down affected him. "learnt to swim in winter".

[@margroningen]

Fantastic album and maybe the best Pond album yet, allthough Beard, Wives & Denim and Man, It Feels Like Space Again are contenders aswell.

[@SubhanArchived]

best band in the world. my secret fav.

[@HeroesZeros]

So cool. Thanks for this Pond dudes! 💥🥇

[@scottthud]

Thanks for making this, behind the scenes stuff is great. Jay and gin’s mixing is so sick and the band is superb

[@mustacheman9044]

I loved 9, thank you so much for this masterpiece! I’ve been a fan since The Weather

[@StudioSappy]
