Nicholas Allbrook, Pond frontman and former Tame Impala bassist, has announced his new solo record Pure Gardiya.
It's out on 27 May, and follows his 2014 debut solo LP Ganough, Wallis and Futuna.
As well as the album news, Allbrook's dropped lead single/video "Advance" on our laps. It's a glittery, key-led ballad with splashes of '70s pop, spaced-out psychedelia, and nose blood.

Tracklist:
1. In the Gutter
2. Advance
3. A Fool There Was
4. Pyramids and Cranes
5. Blow Up Saxophone
