Video: CHVRCHES - Under The Tide
CHVRCHES's release a sci-fi/anime extravaganza for single Under The Tide.. Scottish trio CHVRCHES have released a visually-very-pleasing new video clip for their single Under The Tide, directed by Sing J Lee, who along with working with the band in the past, has also worked on clips for the likes of Australia's own Vance Joy and Gorgon City. The video for Under The Tide is a like a science fiction/anime fan's wet dream, with homages to things like Tron and anime movies I couldn't begin to tell you on account of my fairly limited knowledge to the genre. But I like sci-fi, and this clip is great. It also sees Martin Doherty on vocal duties - the only time on their 2013 album The Bones Of What You Believe Lauren Mayberry doesn't - and it's a bit of an adjustment, but his Scottish lilt soon smooths things over.

New: Pond - Elvis' Flaming Star
The WA psych-rockers go Ziggy Stardust on us, and announce a new album.. One of the most prolific outfits to ever come out of Australia, let alone WA, Pond have announced details for their upcoming sixth studio album, born from the group and a parade of friends taking a couple months worth of mountains of tape stitched together to form Man It Feels Like Space Again. The LP will live up to its wonder-filled title with a collection of warm and fuzzy psychedelic gems, some kind of cosmic mish-mash of The Flaming Lips, MGMT and Supergrass, starting with the single you can listen to/watch below - Elvis' Flaming Star. It drops the heavier-rock vibes we got from their previous album, with an almost '70s-glam-Bowie era rock-pop, that's pretty awesome. They're on tour in the US at the moment, but you can catch them at St Jerome's Laneway Festival NEXT YEAR, just after the new album drops on January 23. Follow Pond: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
