I'm..... really into this record! I haven't even heard the whole thing yet but "Moth Wings" and "Fantastic Explosion of Time" alone are kind of making me want to buy the whole thing. There's a nice, vicious Bolanish streak to it that anchors the psychedelia to something steelier

The quote from the NME review feels really true:
"If MGMT (with whom Pond have toured) had followed this path and made this album and not ‘Congratulations’, they would be the most adored band on the planet."

And not the German prog-synth band either! (Are you listening, Spotify?)

Count me as another one who thought you meant that Pond. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT GOOGLE THEIR POTENTIAL BAND NAMES?

I think there might be a few other search results for 'Pond'.

Try 'Pond band' or 'Pond music' or 'Pond album' or look on discogs, rateyourmusic, last.fm, allmusicguide. FFS.

Yeah, fuck this new band. Always thought "Young Splendor" was their best song.
