Pond

Aquaculture pond managers measure water-quality variables and attempt to maintain them within optimal ranges for shrimp and fish, but surprisingly little attention is paid to pond soil condition.

In Pond’s universe nothing stays still for long. Although no one who heard 2019’s Tasmania could possibly describe its pulsating psych-pop as straight, Pond wanted to try a more spontaneous way of working for their next record.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Taylor Swift released Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions to the Disney Plus streaming platform.

Née à Reading (Pennsylvanie) en 1989, l'auteure-compositrice-interprète et comédienne américaine Taylor Swift fait partie des rares artistes à avoir réussi la transition de la scène country vers la scène pop, révélant au passage l'une des plumes les plus acérées de sa génération, capable de canaliser l'air du temps pour y apporter sa touche personnelle. Dès Fearless, son second effort de 2008, la chanteuse impose son style, évoluant dès lors d'album en album pour mieux gagner en popularité au fil de Red (2012), 1989 (2014) et Reputation (2017) et cumuler les tournées à guichet fermé et les disques d'or et de platine. En 2019, c'est avec son septième effort studio en date, Lover, que l'américaine revient, ainsi qu'avec le titre "Beautiful Ghosts" pour le film musical Cats.

So complex and substance-affected was their evolution, Bardo Pond have been creating their dreamy riffs for 26 years alongside a myriad of side projects and their prolific Record Store Day releases. Returning with a career defining album, ‘Under The Pines’ sees them delve into the subconscious with their transcending cosmic post-rock.

Although originally formed as a chamber pop quintet, matt pond PA went through several different lineups throughout its existence, with each incarnation revolving around the talents of singer/songwriter Matt Pond (previously of Mel's Rockpile). Pond formed the group upon relocating from New England to Philadelphia, and he filled out his first lineup with guitarist/bassist Josh Kramer, cellist Jim Hostetter, violinist Rosie McNamara-Jones, and drummer Sean Byrne. The band debuted in 1998 with Deer Apartments and won top honors in an unsigned bands competition sponsored by online retailer CDNOW. A sophomore effort, Measure, followed in 2000 and garnered comparisons to a stripped-down version of the Cure, while the I Thought You Were Sleeping EP appeared in spring 2001. By the next year, the band shifted its roster to include drummer Mike Kennedy, bassist Matt Raisch, guitarist Jim Kehoe, and cellist Eve Miller, alongside Pond and Hostetter. A third album (and the band's first release for the Polyvinyl label), The Green Fury, was released in spring 2002 while Pond also took on duties writing music for the Oxygen Network. The Nature of Maps followed several months later, marking the band's third release in two years.

Summertime, 1994. In a quiet mining village just outside Doncaster, a rumour stirs about the legend of a giant carp in the nearby decoy ponds. Trevor takes watch one night at the water's edge. The following night, he decides to lead a brigade of young friends and neighbours on a fishing expedition. In a world of broken families, cassette tapes and rumbling political fever, these friends, each with their own struggles to bear, share a moment of harmony as they witness the carp for themselves that they will never forget.
