  1. 9.0 |   NME

    They sound like a big bowl of fun, and have had the decency to write at least seven amazing pop songs

  2. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Their fuzzy, guitar-laden, funk-groovin’, synth-detailed pop-drama will bestow the gift of tap upon your otherwise motionless foot

    With influences that range from David Crosby to Spiritualized, Pond's songs are widely varied

  4. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    A record that bundles together disparate influences in an accomplished melange while somehow possessing an inextricable and almost tangible geographical link to Australian landscapes and settings

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Tame Impala sidemen kick up a stink of their own. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    It's different enough to feel like a companion piece rather than a knock-off

    This is a record that doesn’t think too much and doesn’t expect the listener to think too much

  8. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Spin

    Aussie crew shares members and psychedelic worldview with Tame Impala, but favors fly-unzipped classic rock

  10. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    Nnmistakably from the same headspace as Tame Impala’s Innerspeaker debut (which various Pond members played on and toured), with Impala leader Kevin Parker, himself an occasional Pond drummer, assisting on the album mix

  11. 7.0 |   AU Review

    A fractured but ultimately ebullient record packed with surprises for the keen listener

  12. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The varying forms of psych rock that pack the 53 minutes of Beard, Wives, Denim are enough to please both fans of Pond and those waiting for a Tame Impala follow up

  13. 6.0 |   Under The Radar

    Pond share a few members with Tame Impala, and that fact alone probably gives you a few (safe) assumptions

  14. 5.0 |   musicOMH

    You can marvel at the wondrous and wacky keyboard sounds one minute, but you'll be shaking your head at some of the strange musical harmonies and directions the next
