Pond released two beautiful albums on Sub Pop (1993’s s/t album and 1994’s The Practice of Joy Before Death) before making the jump to the majors… In 1997, Pond released the magnificent Rock Collection on Sony/Work. A record that sonically was filled with angular guitar riffs, sharp and dynamic drums, and wonderfully harmonic vocals. An album that clearly that stands the test of time and sadly, never got the attention it was due. With your help, we’re hoping to change that. Latent Print Records & Gravy Lane Records are working together to help see that this album receives the vinyl treatment it so rightfully deserves. And what better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this amazing album with vinyl and renunion shows, right?

EYELIDS have a collective history of creating music for some of the most legendary indie songwriters. These longtime Portland, Oregon collaborators were not only the principal instrumentalists for Robert Pollard's post Guided By Voices band Boston Spaceships for over eight releases, but they have also worked with Stephen Malkmus, The Decemberists, Elliott Smith, Sam Coomes of Quasi, Black Prairie, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, Loch Lomond, Damien Jurado and Peter Buck (who is producing their upcoming EP this Fall). Principal songwriters John Moen and Chris Slusarenko have turned inwards to their loves of New Zealand/Flying Nun guitar buzz, their teenage L.A. Paisley Underground obsessions, haunts of early Athens and all things beautiful, lopsided and rock. Along with members Jonathan Drews (guitar), Jim Talstra (bass) and Paulie Pulvirenti (drums) they push and pull against each other's songwriting, in a beautiful tension that just works. Their critically celebrated debut 7” SEAGULLS INTO SUBMISSION got airplay everywhere from BBC Radio to WFMU and was also included in MOJO Magazine's Editors Picks of The Month. This single, as well as the accompanying video, is just a hint of what EYELIDS are all about. With 13 songs, most of them clocking in at less than 2 1/2 minutes, their debut album ‘854’ is full of what EYELIDS describes as “sweet melodies and bummer vibes”. ‘854’ makes us remember when our favorite songs were both melancholy and buoyant—those same songs that could make you feel justifiably sad and later make you feel incredibly happy and empowered. That’s what these guys are onto. And, although they are on their own trip, they’ve been compared to Love, Dinosaur Jr., Big Star, and even early R.E.M. Good company. This is the spirit that comes alive in EYELIDS songs: the Beatles meets Television jangle of “Psych #1,” the wistful pleas of “Abby’s Friends,” the beat-your-head-on-the-dashboard croon of “Forget About Tomorrow” and the deserted desperate cries that propel “Say It's Alright”. And as you listen, you will soon find out that Eyelids’ music is seriously catchy, haunting and uniquely their own. Produced by Chris Slusarenko Engineered by Jonathan Drews Recorded with Adam Selzer (The Gossip, The Breeders, Red Fang) and mastered by Carl Saff (Merge, SubPop). Selected Press: “Portland collective featuring GBV, Decemberists and Jicks members, all scholars of sunshine pop, Flying Nun buzz and Big Star vibrancy. Its Teenage Fanclub-ish A-side yearns for summer.” - KEITH CAMERON, MOJO MAGAZINE “Pacific NW indie music at its finest.” - ELIZABETH ALKER, BBC 6 RADIO “Intense and simple guitar riffs multiply and play off each other and the melody with vocals that show a liking of Big Star and early Love. We want MORE!” - THE BIG TAKEOVER
