Tame Impala "Feels like we only go backwards"

Pond is the psych-rock side project of several Tame Impala members. The album is produced by Dave Fridmann, who is, in my opinion, one of the most recognizable producers. He's done stuff by MGMT, the Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, and Black Moth Super Rainbow, and you can instantly hear that it's the same producer on this album. If those connections sound like a good thing to you, and you enjoy some throwback psych-rock, then check out this excellent Pond album, Beard, Wives, Denim.

I don't normally post NSFW tags because you should be working and not looking at videos on the internet, but this one is kind of gross. I didn't want to listen to a band called Black Bananas, but this album is actually kinda rad. (It's called Rad Times Xpress IV, so I guess I should have suspected that...) I'm not sure how to describe this album yet, though I guess you could call it psych rock, and I'd draw comparisons to Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tame Impala, Dungen, Ariel Pink, and a healthy dose of Ween.
