    Brooklyn upstarts PONS weave a psychedelic and harrowing web of decay, rebirth, and realization on rock opera THE LIQUID SELF—a golden spiral into insanity at sea surfacing on vinyl February 16th, 2024.

    Telling the cryptic and nightmarish tale of a sailor’s descent into madness after being at lost at sea and subsequently rescued, PONS take cues from grandiose rock n’ roll classics like The Black Parade and Station to Station while creating something entirely their own and new to the genre of noise rock as a whole.

    Songs ebb and flow as they lose all shape and meld into one another—creating a singular, theatrical, and disorienting experience that subverts the idea of conventional song structure. The end result feels less like an album and more like a self contained world and creation myth that will take the listener as deep as they are willing to dive.

    Besieged by pummeling, water-tight percussion and dynamic guitar playing that ranges from math-rock inspired grooves to all-out sonic assault and lush psychedelia, THE LIQUID SELF reaches cinematic heights that feel compelled by the tides of destiny themselves.

    PONS’ debut studio album “THE LIQUID SELF” puts the “motion” in “ocean” on vinyl February 16th, 2024—only on Dedstrange. Remastered for vinyl back Zach Bloomstein.

lyrics

CALYPSO, MY DISCO, SPINS ME AROUND
SING WITH ME SIREN, CAUSE WERE HERE DROWN
CALYPSO MY LIMBO, TAKES ME AWAY
SINK WITH ME SIREN, CAUSE WE’RE HERE TO STAY
BREAK ME OH BREAK ME, THE RIVER TELLS TRUTH
THE WATER SURROUNDS ME, IT MUST BE MY TIME
IT FLASHES AND FLASHES PICTURES OF MY YOUTH
OH NO BABY ERASE ME, REPENT FOR MY CRIMES

DOWN IN THE DEPTHS
I TAKE MY FINAL BREATH
NO FLASH OF LAND IN MIND
WELCOME TO THIS NEW HOME OF MINE

ALWAYS THOUGHT THE BLUE WOULD LOOK A LITTLE MORE LIKE YOU
BUT YOU CHANGED
YOU CHANGED

KNEW HEAVEN WAS DIVINE WHEN I’M NOT HIDING FROM MY LIES
BUT I CHANGED
I CHANGED

NOW WHO WOULD BE THE MAN THAT LIVES SO PROUDLY IN A SHELL?
WHAT’S HIS NAME?
WHAT’S HIS NAME?

I COULDN'T PROPHESIZE THE ORACLE STRAYING FROM HER LINES
WHAT A WASTE
WHAT A WASTE

GRANT ME MY DUES
A TOMBSTONE MAKES A MAN OF YOU

GRANT ME MY DUES
A TOMBSTONE MAKES A MAN OF YOU

I’M TRYING
TO GET WASHED UP
BENEATH THE TIDE
LET ME INSIDE

NOW WHO WOULD BE THE MAN THAT LIVES SO PROUDLY IN A SHELL?
WHAT’S HIS NAME?
WHAT’S HIS NAME?

I COULDN'T PROPHESIZE THE ORACLE STRAYING FROM HER LINES
WHAT A WASTE
WHAT A WASTE

CREEPING SLOWLY DOWN THE WELL I DUG
THE WATER WAS SO FINE

FEELING PEACEFUL FINALLY FOR A DAY
HOPEFULLY FOR THE NIGHT
