Deluxe Edition - 180gm 2LP with etching and gatefold sleeve printed on holographic card, and 12 page booklet
 
Released in October 2021 and produced by Pond and mixed by Jay Watson and James Ireland,  on 9, Pond’s explorations are funneled into electrifying bursts of pure psych-pop joy. No tune even veers past the five minute mark.
Above all though, what you get from the album is a sense of creative abandon and just plain fun. The album features the vacillating psych-rock jam Human Touch, the blissed out Toast, the elastic hipped robo-funk single America’s Cup and the high energy, no-wave lead track Pink Lunettes, On 9, Pond recaptures an anarchic sense of uncertainty and fly closer than ever before to the creative supernova that has blazed across so much of the band’s music.
 
Featuring new tracks Lights of Leeming and unhinged My Funny Serpentine, Pond switches gears on The TAB Took My Baby From Me, a ballad only Nick Allbrook could pen and wraps up with the exuberant and dance floor ready Hang A Cross On Me.
