Pons – The Liquid Self - New LP

AFTER A TRAGIC SHIPWRECK, A SAILOR IS LOST AT SEA FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME. THEY ARE RESCUED BY PURE CHANCE AND RETURN HOME. AND SO OUR STORY BEGINS...

Brooklyn upstarts PONS weave a psychedelic and harrowing web of decay, rebirth, and realization on rock opera THE LIQUID SELF—a golden spiral into insanity at sea surfacing on vinyl February 16th, 2024. Telling the cryptic and nightmarish tale of a sailor’s descent into madness after being at lost at sea and subsequently rescued, PONS take cues from grandiose rock n’ roll classics like The Black Parade and Station to Station while creating something entirely their own and new to the genre of noise rock as a whole. Songs ebb and flow as they lose all shape and meld into one another—creating a singular, theatrical, and disorienting experience that subverts the idea of conventional song structure. The end result feels less like an album and more like a self contained world and creation myth that will take the listener as deep as they are willing to dive. Besieged by pummeling, water-tight percussion and dynamic guitar playing that ranges from math-rock inspired grooves to all-out sonic assault and lush psychedelia, THE LIQUID SELF reaches cinematic heights that feel compelled by the tides of destiny themselves.
NYC speed rockers Pons are wound up and hot for skronk on The Liquid Self, a golden spiral into insanity at sea. Besieged by a lighthouse panopticon of pummeling, engine-room percussion, The Liquid Self rises higher than the tides of destiny. The Liquid Self chums indie rock’s murky waters with bloody chunks of Lightning Bolt, Van Halen and King Crimson to lure PONS’ mythical and unhinged creation to the surface. The vinyl drops 2024 — only on Dedstrange.
