Man It Feels Like Space Again

A kaleidoscopic collision of glam-rock swagger and interstellar synth-pop, capturing the chaotic joy of a band pushing their psychedelic limits.

January 18, 2015

Man It Feels Like Space Again is a Technicolor explosion of sound that feels like a party at the end of the universe. It is an album that refuses to sit still, jumping from the strutting glam-rock piano of the 1970s to the bubbling, liquid electronics of the modern era. While Pond has always been associated with the Perth psychedelic scene, this record sees them fully embracing a maximalist, 'more is more' philosophy. Every track is densely packed with layers of fuzzy guitars, oscillating synths, and Nick Allbrook's elastic, charismatic vocals that range from a delicate falsetto to a rock-and-roll howl.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition in Waiting for the Night from a driving motorik beat into a shimmering, synth-heavy chorus that feels like breaking through clouds.

The opening seconds of Elvis' Flaming Star where glam-rock piano chords collide with a squelchy, distorted synth lead.

The final three minutes of the title track where the song dissolves into a swirling, orchestral-synth crescendo that feels like a literal liftoff.
