Pond Announce New Album, Drop New Single ‘Two Hands’

Australian psychedelic rock outfit Pond have unveiled plans for a fresh studio album alongside the release of their latest single. The Perth-based band will issue Terrestrials on June 19th through their independent Mangovision label, distributed via Secretly Distribution.

Leading the charge into the new record is the track "Two Hands", available now. The song tackles the controversial destruction of Juukan Gorge, drawing inspiration from the 2020 incident when mining giant Rio Tinto detonated the sacred Indigenous site in Western Australia without consent from the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Piinigura people.

This announcement arrives as Pond continue to establish themselves as one of Australia's most inventive acts in the alternative music space. The group's willingness to address significant social and environmental issues through their music showcases an artistic maturity that extends beyond their trademark experimental soundscapes.

For local fans keen to experience the band's evolving sonic palette, the release of Terrestrials marks another compelling chapter in their discography. The album promises to deliver the intricate production and conceptual depth that has earned Pond a dedicated following both domestically and internationally.

Pond's decision to champion their own Mangovision imprint reflects a growing trend among established Australian acts seeking greater creative autonomy in an increasingly complex music industry landscape. With the support of a reputable distributor like Secretly, the band can maintain artistic control whilst ensuring their work reaches audiences far and wide.

The arrival of "Two Hands" and the Terrestrials album announcement signals an exciting period ahead for the four-piece. Fans and newcomers alike should mark June 19th in their calendars for what promises to be a significant release in the Australian alternative rock calendar.
