The weather

"Produced by Parker, their seventh album sees the band dabble in New Romanticism and the funk flexings of Prince. The result is a set of unashamed, swing-for-the-corners pop music - see the velour-smooth hit single Swept Me Off My Feet - tempered by some agreeably odd moments, such as the catatonic swirl of synths on apocalyptic opener 30,000 Megatons. Accessible but still absolutely out there, this is prog, but not as we know it".

"While still typically madcap, The Weather may be the band's most coherent release to date, especially with a song like "Sweep Me Off My Feet," the record's AOR-friendly lead single. Taken as a whole, it works as both a flamboyant acknowledgment of and release from volatile times".

"Australian psych rockers Pond share members with Tame Impala, as well as a penchant for arena-sized 1970s rock. Their new album mixes bright synths, campy detours, and grim lyrics ... It's a document of a band knocking loudly on the door of greatness".
