Nicholas Allbrook is an accomplished Australian songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and the frontman of POND. Since beginning his artistic career in 2005, Nicholas has foregrounded community and collaboration in his artistic method. Whether it’s in the poignant lyricism of his solo musical projects (Ganough, Wallis and Fatuna / Wabi-Sabi) or the production style of 9, POND’s latest album, Nicholas Allbrook demonstrates a deep understanding of the human experience and the importance of art in modern society. He has collaborated with Australian and international musicians, from King Krule to Cate Le Bon, as well as Holy Fuck and Cuco. Emotional, geological, psychological: this is the terrain of Manganese. Produced by Nicholas himself and HOKO (Nathaniel Hoho) and mixed by Jay Watson (GUM, Pond, Tame Impala), this fourth solo album away from Pond life is a landscape of psyche pop wonders. Manganese is the sound of a musician with a symphony in his back pocket, the history of Oz rock in his rearview mirror and modern Australia in his sights.
