If It's Too Loud...

Even though February feels like another lifetime, it was only two months ago. It was back in February that we brought you a Friday Freebie in the form of Comet Pond's 2019 album And to Think. This past Monday (4/20, of course) they released a new album. Spirit  is everything we loved about And to Think , but even more so. Spirit is filled with these laid back indie rock jams that border on being power ballads. Songs like "Want" and "For You" are like a combination of Nada Surf and Sebadoh's more sensitive side. "Dreamt" keeps that up, but with a slight hint of a country twang. "Rock and Roll Guitar" is a more organic shoegaze that leans towards Americana. "Come Down" is a bizarro New Wave track that gets a little new agey at times. Comet Pond are becoming masterful at feeling very familiar on your first listen but burying sounds deep into the song to find once you go back. Spirit  is going to be worth your time the more and mo...

Hailing from Massachusetts, Comet Pond released And to Think  back in March of 2019 which we recently stumbled on. And to Think is an interesting release. The first two tracks, "Now Forgotten" and "And to Think," are pretty, kinda groovy, laid back alternative with shades of Nada Surf. These segue into "Tuff," which is similar, but more of an organic version of dream pop. From there, And to Think meanders along with this gorgeous, chilled out vibe. At no point does the album ever get boring and you just keep getting more and more sucked in to Comet Pond's sound. It's the kind of album that will grow on you more and more the longer and more often you listen. You can listen to "Boston Slug" below. And to Think  is available for the "name your price" option on Bandcamp . As always, if you download for free, be sure to follow Comet Pond on Facebook . And to Think by Comet Pond
