Pond have announced their 11th studio album.
The Australian psych-rock quintet will release 'Terrestrials' on June 19 through their newly launched imprint Mangovision via Secretly Distribution, following up 2024's 'Stung!'
To coincide with the announcement, the band have shared a new single, Two Hands, a snappy, groove-led, synth-infused track inspired by the destruction of Juukun Gorge in Western Australia, a site of cultural importance to Indigenous communities. Frontman Nicholas Albrook explained:
"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, it's a little word of encouragement that you’ve got every right to be very fucking angry about this injustice."
Head below to view the song's accompanying video, directed by Sam Kristofski. Albrook said: "The video was made by us and Sam Kristofski (with heaps of help from Tess Thompson, Kate Green and Christian Dillon). We filmed it in York and the Beverley Offroad Motorsports Association on one of the hottest days of the summer. Az was tough enough to wear full leathers the whole time. Endless thanks to him and Ry for fully embodying the soul of this video with their enduring passion for dust, rust, black cans, circlework and fucked up old motorcars."
The track will appear on the album alongside Pond's previous single, the record's title track, which dropped last month.
Following the LP's release, Pond will embark on a North American tour, including dates supporting Djo in Pittsburgh, Forest Hills, Portland, Lewiston in New York, Toronto and Richmond in July. Tickets are on sale now.
