Pond was born under a mulberry tree in Daglish, Western Australia, by Joseph Ryan, Nick Allbrook and Jay Watson.

In the next few years Pond recorded three albums and played a bunch of shows in around Australia and Japan, supporting MGMT and playing at the St. Jerome's Laneway Festival.

Their latest album, Beard Wives Denim was recorded in 2010, at a friend's farmhouse in Eagle Bay, Western Australia, and mixed by Kevin Parker and Rob Grant. 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.

Beard Wives Denim will be released through Modular Recordings in early 2012, in the meantime, here's a taste of what's to come with this free download of 'Fantastic Explosion of Time'. Pre-order now, Mod Shop, JB Hi Fi.

Since the release of Tame Impala's debut album 'Innerspeaker' in mid-2010 the record has been met with a very warm welcome/ bienvenido/ bievenue/ willkommen/ youkoso the world over and led the band on several sold out trans-global jaunts.

A couple of months back, 'Innerspeaker' clocked into the 'gold' status. We think the bling really suits the boys. They wear it well.

In celebration of this masterful achievement, 'Innerspeaker' has now been given the expanded deluxe treatment, a 2 disc set with expanded packaging and a bonus disc of remixes and gems from the back catalogue.

It's time we took a minute to reflect on the gigantuan times Tame Impala are having. Not content to score a gold record in Australia, reconfigur3d Daft Punk and have Erol Alkan rework them, (ps this is also available on 12" over here) they've been criss-crossing the U.S of A for the last few weeks with a string of sell-out dates and rave reviews.
