Editorial Reviews

2012 release from the Australian band (not to be confused with the critically acclaimed Oregon band who split in '98). In 2010, at a friend's farmhouse in Eagle Bay, Western Australia, Pond piled in with all their instruments, amplifiers, friends, recording equipment and Sam Ford to record Beard Wives Denim. After two weeks of Lord of the Flies-esque bonding with Frisbee and guitars and absolutely no religion or wood chopping or wives or beards, the album was finished. It a whole lot less like Neil Young, the Grateful Dead or the Band than Pond had imagined when the idea started, but it's the thought that counts. Mixed by Kevin Parker and Rob Grant at Poon's Head Studio in Perth, Beard Wives Denim is an audio diary of ten friends' strange, terrible and blissful time in the country trying in vain to be a wholesome family band. It sounds just like it, distorted and woozy and fractured and ultimately nostalgic and loving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please. March 20, 2012
By fan
Format:MP3 Music
To the other reviewer. Just cause you bought the wrong album doesn't give you the right to piss on this band. Take you nostalgia for the crappy portland band elsewhere.
And do a little research before spreading disinformation. The band has 5 members.
To say it's another Tame Impala album would be a compliment of epic proportions.

4.0 out of 5 stars cranked-up psychedelic guitar pop/rock March 23, 2012
Format:Audio CD
4th album from this Australian band with members of Tame Impala--cranked-up psychedelic
guitar pop/rock; sparkly, melodic sky fireworks; beautifully raucous rock `n' roll drug music;
dazzle-trippy headphone explosions. The songs have a sort of charmingly happy, wide-eyed,
schizophrenic Alice In Wonderland quality. It's a 60s influenced winding path exploration, where
bright colors and fantastic auditorily enhanced imagery cocoons the listener in a vibrant tunnel of
acid noise love. Similarities to Tame Impala, Bubble Puppy, early Flaming Lips, Small Faces,
MGMT, even Led Zeppelin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything they touch is golden March 24, 2012
Format:Audio CD
This album surpassed all my expectations. I was a huge fan of Pond's last album Frond and I can easily say I liked this one even better. This album feels like a cosmic ride on some crazy space waves. You surf from one track to another and there's never a dull moment. The album is a joy to listen to and before you even know it the ride is over. Yet by the time this album is over I guarantee you'll be ready to take the ride all over again. I also recommend checking out the Tame/Pond collective's other band Mink Mussel Creek.

This album doesn't really sound all that much like a Tame Impala record to me. It's pretty awesome in it's own right.

Pond's "Beard Wives Denim" is a good album...this was my first experience listening to them. I thought it was good enough to consider more of their work.

First off, even though 'Pond' is a common word - the original Pond was an uncommon band, the Self-Titled album is still amazing after 20 years, not to mention Rock Collection & The Practice of Joy Before Death.
Secondly, again, do not confuse this band for the real Pond - they have nothing in common - other than being a 3 piece.
Thirdly, out of curiosity, I checked out this Pond and gave it an honest listen, it might as well have been just another Tame Impala album - redundant psych pop and to quote musicomh, "This particular water feature needs a bit more tender loving care."
Drugs are highly recommended if you are picking this album up to enjoy it more than I did.
