    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

Bowed our heads down as soon as he walked out
The jester went mad, but look at his pride now
His moves, not sorry
The fool, weeps worry

All in the head now, it’s all in the head
The clock that's ticking down is killing him dead
The heft of a crooked crown is how he was bred
Wouldn’t be nice to have that crown on my head

All in the head now, it’s all in the head
The dam is breaking down, they’re letting us in
The heft of a crooked crown is how he will fall
Wouldn’t be nice to have his head on my wall

Waiting with bated breath
See his face in the rose colored lens
Wouldn’t I look good with a crown on my head?
The fall was hard for the sailor’s Gaul
He mutters under breath how he’ll fool them all
Scurvy on the teeth and ambition on the tongue, only one vessel’s gun has the chance to sail away

Traitor traitor he knows your plan now
Kraken kraken he sees your weakness
Traitor traitor you’d be so foolish
Blow the man down he’s got no sea legs

Knee deep in a bottle of jack
When the lads set sail there’s a clique and a claque
When the morning sun rises pick up your gun
Only will the ship wreck when we run out of rum
Knee deep in a bottle of gin
When the lads set sail cause there’s work to be did
When the morning sun rises pick up your gun
Only will the ship wreck when we run out of rum

Traitor traitor he knows your plan now
Kraken kraken he sees your weakness
Traitor traitor you’d be so foolish
Blow the man down he’s got no sea legs

Set this course for this plan of mine
All this treason, my design
This world out there is calling me
All of it belongs to me

ALL HAIL THE CORAL! THE CORAL KING!
