Summary:
The album crams loose, cretaceous-era space-rock jams into a very typical Pond-esque compilation of sounds, with a new edge. The album is brief and dark, capturing the live intensity the band cultivated during their tour across a large swath of the world with their label debut. "This album is supposed to represent that thrill that I get watching Youtubes from [the Beard Wives Denim] era," says Watson. "That thrill that we never had on record. This was our attempt to make it tuneful, not just yelling and throwing each other around." POND fanatics will see Hobo Rocket cast a shadow across their standard tunes, bottling the confrontational energy of their live shows, tightening up their arrangements and spitting them back as compact whirlwinds of sound, finding, as Allbrook calls it, their "own little place in music."
