Ready your ears and free your mind — Aussie band Pond released its sixth studio album today. “Man It Feels Like Space Again” is full of fresh psychedelic tunes, created by songwriters Nick Allbrook, Joseph Ryan and Jay Watson. The title track, “Man It Feels Like Space Again,” can only be described as if Tame Impala, David Bowie, Mars Volta, and the Moody Blues all flew to outer space in the same ship. Rich with distortion and intertwining melodic interludes, the 8-plus-minute song is an audible journey. Speaking of journeys, the music video is a trip. Muppet-like characters change from happy-go lucky to homicidal and sexual deviants. It’s basically Sesame Street on acid.
