Pond announce new LP 'The Weather' & share "Sweep Me Off My Feet" video

Australian band Pond have announced details of their new album, which is titled The Weather and will be out May 5. Like their last record, it was produced by old pal/bandmate Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, and Nicholas Allbrook says it’s a concept LP:

It’s a concept album, not completely about Perth, but focusing on all the weird contradictory things that make up a lot of colonial cities around the world. Laying out all the dark things underneath the shimmering exterior of cranes, development, money and white privilege. It’s not our place, but it is our place. British, but Australian, but not REAL Australian. On the edge of the world with a hell of a lot of fucked things defining our little city, still we try and live a wholesome respectful life, while being inherently disrespectful. At the end of all this confusion in our weird little white antipodean world, there’s the beach, purity and nature that brings us all together.

They’ve just shared a video for single “Sweep Me Off My Feet,” directed by Matt Sav, and you can watch that below.

Pond will be touring this year, including a stop at Coachella. All dates are listed, along with The Weather‘s artwork and tracklist, below.
