Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumBrooklyn 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
TWO EYES DON’T SEE
A BIG FISH LIKE ME
WHEN YA GOT THE URGE TO DIVE INTO TOWN
WHEN YA LUNGS FILL UP AND YA START DROWN
ALL HANDS ON DECK
GOT GILLS ON NECK
WHEN A WISH IS BOUND THE FISH CAN DROWN
IF A MAN IS WAKES UP BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN
DID YA NOTICE WHEN I FELT A CERTAIN CLOSENESS TO THE SEA?
SO CLOSE TO ME
I COULD TOUCH, THROUGH THE WAVES
AS THEY CRASH, ON MY FACE
PLEASE SWEEP ME AWAY
IF YOU GO TO SEA, KNOW YOU CAN’T COME BACK
IF YOU THINK OF ME, THINK ABOUT HOW YOU LEFT
YOU’RE SELFISH, SO SELFISH, OH STOP YOUR COMPLAINING
THE OCEANS ARE RISING, AND HERE I AM WAITING
YOU GO OFF TO SEA TO FORGET ALL YOUR MEMORIES
JUST TO LEAVE ME MAROONED WISHING ON STAR MAYBE
YOU’RE BREAKING, YOU’RE BREAKING, SO GODDAMN COMPLACENT
THE OCEANS ARE RISING, AND HERE I AM WASTED
YOU GO OFF TO SEA TO FORGET ALL OF YOUR MISSES
IF YOU WOULD GIVE ME MY LAST WISH
DID YA NOTICE WHEN I FELT A CERTAIN CLOSENESS TO THE SEA?
SO CLOSE TO ME
I COULD TOUCH, THROUGH THE WAVES
AS THEY CRASH, ON MY FACE
PLEASE SWEEP ME AWAY
TWO EYES DON’T SEE
A BIG FISH LIKE ME
WHEN YA GOT THE URGE TO DIVE INTO TOWN
WHEN YA LUNGS FILL UP AND YA START DROWN
ALL HANDS ON DECK
GOT GILLS ON NECK
WHEN A WISH IS BOUND THE FISH CAN DROWN
IF A MAN IS WAKES UP BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN
A BIG FISH LIKE ME
WHEN YA GOT THE URGE TO DIVE INTO TOWN
WHEN YA LUNGS FILL UP AND YA START DROWN
ALL HANDS ON DECK
GOT GILLS ON NECK
WHEN A WISH IS BOUND THE FISH CAN DROWN
IF A MAN IS WAKES UP BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN
DID YA NOTICE WHEN I FELT A CERTAIN CLOSENESS TO THE SEA?
SO CLOSE TO ME
I COULD TOUCH, THROUGH THE WAVES
AS THEY CRASH, ON MY FACE
PLEASE SWEEP ME AWAY
IF YOU GO TO SEA, KNOW YOU CAN’T COME BACK
IF YOU THINK OF ME, THINK ABOUT HOW YOU LEFT
YOU’RE SELFISH, SO SELFISH, OH STOP YOUR COMPLAINING
THE OCEANS ARE RISING, AND HERE I AM WAITING
YOU GO OFF TO SEA TO FORGET ALL YOUR MEMORIES
JUST TO LEAVE ME MAROONED WISHING ON STAR MAYBE
