A cyclone of urgent, scorched earth rock'n'roll, Terrestrials tips the hat to the sounds of then while squarely facing up to the here and now.Conceived from a place of reverence for a particularly potent epoch in Oz rock, Terrestrials mines the sound of open sky melancholia, heat haze sizzling on the plains and jangly pub backrooms that hits an eternally poignant nerve for anyone familiar with the sound, time and place.Like much of The Pond catalogue, Terrestrials is a record of people and place, of exploring the identity of each, as well as where and how they intersect and interact. Terrestrials twitches with the desperation of people and planet on the brink, but ultimately bets on the beauty of both to prevail."This one is hitting me this morning. It's got all this strutting, preening glam-rock/new wave energy, but it's too weird and oblique to play as pure pastiche." - Stereogum on "Terrestrials"TRACK LIST: 1. Skyworks 2. Casuarina 3.
