This is a colored vinyl LP pressing of the ninth studio album 9 by the Australian psychedelic rock band Pond. Released on October 1, 2021, through Spinning Top Records, this album is a wild ride. Pond is known for its ever - changing style, and they took a more spontaneous approach for this record. In early 2020, they started off - the - cuff jam sessions, just like krautrock outliers Can. The result is a dizzying listen. The opener, Song For Agnes, is like an intergalactic rock opera that blasts through synth pop, 80s hair metal, and saxophone riffs. The album covers a wide range of genres, from pounding techno in Human Touch to elastic hipped robofunk in America’s Cup. 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 places. It has hilarious one - liners in Human Touch and addresses social and environmental issues in the closing track Toast. Above all, 9 is full of creative abandon and pure fun. Label: Spinning Top.

Using this vinyl album is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the track you want to play, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will prevent warping and damage. When not in use, keep the vinyl in its protective sleeve to avoid scratches. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove dust and debris. Just brush in a circular motion from the outside to the center of the record. Have a great listening experience!
