Diandra Reviews It All

Pond’s The Weather sounds exactly like its title. Each song feels like the aspects of a storm coming over you. From windy guitar melodies to thunderous drums, and the rained vocals of Nick Allbrook, Pond has found a bridge between psychedelic rock and nature. If ever there was an album that shows music stems and mold environments, it is this one.
Pond – Paint Me Silver

Lyrically, The Weather is about the world’s current, social/ geo-political climate, which does not surprise. This year has sent artists spinning trying to understand why humanity is losing its humanity. Artists are born from their connection to earth, and their art speaks about that bond, which is why, now, I rarely avoid a concert or artist that does not have some commentary on Trump and the world. Frankly, I do not want to avoid, and The Weather is an album that reiterates that you cannot. With songs like, “Zen Automaton”,“End Of The World Part 1” , and “End Of The World Part 2”, you feel as if you have been dropped in the middle of a sonic tornados. Chords forcefully gust in range as Allbrook shows you images of a world that HAS LOST ITS MIND. Allbrook has a voice that can spark sanity in anyone because it pierce with emotion. He has no qualms jumping an octave like in “3000 Megatons” to shake you into seeing that you are not thinking. What I love most about this album and Allbrook’s voice is that it leaves no room for apathy. Not only will it make you sane and sentimental in production but also in affect.
Pond – Sweep Me Off My Feet

Hearing what seems to be muddled news clips in “Colder Than Ice” constructs the aura that this is an album born from the world to challenge the world. Instrumentally, Pond has arranged a universe that scopes the earth with cool, bouncing drumbeats in “All I Want For X-mas” or somber piano melodies like of “A B”. Similar to Allbrook’s voice, Pond a set of seadoned, creative musicians can traverse any style and trick to strike a point. Still, tracks like “Painted Silver” and “Sweep Me Of My Feet” show that they do not forget that, even in the worse, people want ta rhythms that is starry and twilighted in danceability. Thus, while you sway to these songs, like weather, you dream of the sun and warm breeze returning after the storm. Pond etches musical hopefulness in The Weather that is undeniably good, majestic in its build, and, if you are willing to invest, rich with wisdom and understanding for everyone who is thinking “What is going on, humanity?”.
