9: Vinyl LP

In Pond's dynamic world, change is constant. After the success of 2019's “Tasmania,” the band aimed for a more spontaneous approach for their new record. In early 2020, inspired by krautrock's Can, Pond held off - the - cuff jam sessions to birth new songs and ideas. The result is a dizzying listen. Opener Song For Agnes blasts from speakers like an intergalactic rock opera, fusing synth - pop, 80s hair metal, and saxophone. This album seamlessly combines pounding techno in Human Touch, elastic robofunk in America’s Cup, and trippy motorik in Czech Locomotive. The lead single Pink Lunettes starts with a thump like ESG at Berghain and then soars away on a synthship. Lyrically, 9 takes Pond to new heights. Allbrook's songs are more impressionistic, offering hilarious one - liners in Human Touch and addressing social and environmental issues in Toast. Above all, 9 radiates creative freedom and pure fun.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, just place it on your record player and drop the needle gently. Make sure your record player is in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface, as this can affect the sound. After each use, return the vinyl to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove debris. Enjoy the unique and dynamic music that Pond has created on this amazing LP.
