POND explore frivolous pleasure in the video for ‘The Weather’
The clip reacts to the human moments we experience during times of panic.
Please do not adjust your set: it’s just a new video from
Aussies POND!
After sharing their cosmic, almost romantic title track to
their upcoming album ‘The Weather,’ and now the track’s got a brand new video.
In it, we see a series of edited, seemingly vintage images, kicking off beside
a pool and cutting to clips of Barbie and Ken dolls, luxury, and undridled
nights out while military jets fly by and cities burn.
The band’s Nick Allbrook discussed the song in a statement,
shedding a bit of light on the juxtaposition of images we see in the video: “‘The
Weather’ is about reality’s penchant for unearthly declaration in moments of
total disaster and panic (micro and macro), and the real - flawed and silly and
irredeemably human - humans who experience them. In these moments - when there
is no more fan for the shit to hit - the once vain and frivolous pleasures of
life seem so… not.”
