Jay Watson (also of Tame Impala), Nick Allbrook (ex-Tame Impala), Shiny Joe Ryan, Jamie Terry, and James Ireland.
The original idea of Pond was to be able to get anyone they wanted to play whatever they wanted in a collaborative musical project. Their first album was released soon after in January 2009, titled Psychedelic Mango, which contained many psychedelic rock and pop elements. Their second album, Corridors of Blissterday, was completed live with an eight piece band in five days, and released in June 2009. This led to the creation of their 2010 album, Frond, released in May 2010, featuring a heavier pop influence than previously heard from them.
After the breakthrough success of Innerspeaker, the debut album by Tame Impala, a band which shares three members with Pond, the album Beard, Wives, Denim was recorded in 2010 and later released to critical acclaim in March 2012.

Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lifts the lid and drops it down in an urn she carries around her father resides
Her heavy foot is on the gas
With Saint Christopher on the dash she is safe from any crash at least she believes
What she doesn't realize that he's been decanonized by the church
Her heavy foot is on the gas
She used to make gum wrapper necklaces
She always seemed to smell of wintergreen
In her father eyes she was not a princess but a queen
She didn't love to play the queen
Only prayers and country songs are found as the needle crawls along through megahertz
Black rubber radials wearing bald and wearing dull she sings along
Her heavy foot is on the gas
Imitation leather cracks from to much heat and to much smack you broke mother's back
She prefers the Texacos for the color of their clothes and their smokes
Her heavy foot is on the gas
She used to make gum wrapper necklaces
She always seemed to smell of wintergreen
In her father eyes she was not a princess but the queen
She used to wake up with the sun
She used to watch the clouds go by
Her hands tighten on the wheel
She hums a tune as she closes her eyes
The song Filterless by Australian psychedelic rock band Pond tells the story of a woman who is constantly on the move. Her fingers are stained yellow and brown from smoking too many filterless cigarettes. She carries around an urn containing the ashes of her father, and her heavy foot is always on the gas as she drives with a Saint Christopher medal on her dashboard. She believes this keeps her safe from crashes, but is unaware that the saint has been decanonized by the church.
The woman used to make gum wrapper necklaces and always had a distinctive scent of wintergreen. She never considered herself a princess in her father's eyes, but rather a queen. The only things she listens to as she drives are prayers and country songs on the radio. The tires of her car are bald and dull, but she sings along anyway. She prefers Texaco gas stations because of the color of their clothing and the brand of cigarettes they sell.
The woman's reality is a mix of addiction, nostalgia, and delusion. She has a heavy foot on the gas, always moving forward, but she is also lost in memories of her father, her childhood, and the things she used to do. Her hands tighten on the wheel as she hums a tune and closes her eyes, highlighting the danger of her behavior. The song suggests a sense of recklessness in the way the woman lives her life, and the repeated phrase "her heavy foot is on the gas" serves as a warning for the consequences of this behavior.

The drain hole makes me think of Liebig's Law of the Minumum. I'm gonna have to try this over the summer! Using plants you collect from the wild is always fun to experiment with.
