Australian band POND, recently announced their new album Terrestrials, will drop on Jun 19 via their new imprint Mangovision via Secretly Distribution. With the news, the group have announced a run of North American headline dates this July-September. The band are sharing new single “Two Hands.” The group includes Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, Joe Ryan, Jamie Terry, and James Ireland,

Nicholas Albrook shares “This song is about when mining company Rio Tinto blew up Juukun Gorge in the Hammersley Range in Western Australia. They destroyed sacred rock shelters that were of the highest archaeological, cultural and spiritual significance. The rock shelters contained a cultural sequence spanning 46, 000 years that had been taken care of by the local Indigenous communities. I was wondering how the commentators around this country would’ve reacted if the shoe was on the other foot and someone had demolished the Vatican or Notre Dame or St. Paul’s because it was in the way of their corporate expansion. Anyway, its a little word of encouragement that you’ve got every right to be very fucking angry about this injustice.”

Terrestrials is a record of people and place, of exploring the identity of each, as well as where and how they intersect and interact. Extractive capitalism, power dynamics, inequality, indigenous incarceration, eccentric outcasts, fire and water, diesel and dust, unity and division, blood and bauxite, unborn tomorrows and dead yesterdays – it’s all there. Terrestrials twitches with the desperation of people and planet on the brink, but ultimately bets on the beauty of both to prevail.

POND will be supporting Djo on their North American tour, tickets are now on sale.
