Our Take
Our Take
Ah, TAR POND. The band whose name sounds like they took a wrong turn on the motorway and ended up in a sticky situation. And their latest album, "Protocol Of Constant Sadness," might just leave you feeling similarly trapped in a sea of melancholy.
From the opening track, "Soggy Sorrow," it's clear that TAR POND is not here to sugarcoat the human experience. The haunting vocals and brooding instrumentation paint a picture of a world where happiness is just out of reach, like a pint at the end of a very long bar.
But don't be fooled by the gloomy title – there are moments of lightness on this album. Tracks like "Damp Delight" and "Gloomy Groove" inject a playful energy into the mix, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is room for a bit of fun.
Overall, "Protocol Of Constant Sadness" is a bold and atmospheric collection of songs that will transport you to a place where the skies are permanently overcast and the tea is always cold. So grab your raincoat, put on your headphones, and let TAR POND take you on a journey through the depths of human emotion. Just make sure to have a box of tissues on standby – you might need them.
