Pond unveil new single, "Through the Heather"

"Through the Heather" was first written while the band were on tour in Europe last summer, as an Ableton experiment by drummer James Ireland, who started working on the track in a hotel room with bandmate Jay Watson (Gum).

Speaking about the song, vocalist Nicholas Allbrook explains, “Sometimes rock and roll is a glamorous game baby, but mainly it isn’t. Funny that such a beautiful, melancholic, searching song was born surrounded by chip packets and track pants in a van full of filthy pigs. We had so much fun making the spring reverb thunderclaps, giving the spring a cheeky little pinch to make it go BOOM, looking out over the Indian ocean from our porch/studio in Seabird while MasterChef played silently in the corner. Let that be a lesson to all you young rockers ok? Can’t get too inspiring ya know. Gotta keep a lid on it. Chucking on the telly or making a samwich or having a nap should do it.”
