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.

O Dharma
Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you squint you can make out the sliding little pills
And if you muthafuckers don't like it you can all get out
And the gods still go sideways
Or at least it seems like that these days
And if you muthafuckers don't like it you can all get out
God, to the pure is cruelest of all
Oh dharma, she'll never fall
She should believe in karma
And maybe that's not all
When you know you're like that
And you just can't help yourself
When your feet walk back
And crush the fowers in the earth
When your love turns black
And everything looks grey
When your life goes back
And you've got nothing left to say
(Dank an Geher für den Text)
The lyrics of "O Dharma" by Pond seem to be describing a person who is experiencing some form of addiction or self-destructive behavior, and is struggling to overcome it. The opening lines suggest that others might be able to sense this person's struggle if they listen closely, despite the fact that the person might be trying to hide it with drugs or other coping mechanisms. The repeated refrain, "if you muthafuckers don't like it you can all get out," suggests a confrontational attitude towards those who might judge or criticize this person's behavior.
The middle section of the song seems to offer a commentary on religion and spirituality, with mentions of karma, dharma (a concept in Hinduism and Buddhism), and the cruelty of the gods. The lyrics suggest that despite any efforts to adhere to a certain moral code or belief system, bad things can still happen to good people, and life can still be difficult and painful.
The final section of the song returns to the theme of personal struggle, describing a situation where the person is aware of their destructive tendencies but can't seem to stop themselves. The final line, "you've got nothing left to say," could be interpreted as a metaphor for hitting rock bottom.
Overall, "O Dharma" seems to be a complex and introspective exploration of addiction, spirituality, and personal growth.
Line by Line Meaning
If you listen and don't shout you can hear the way she feels
If you pay attention and remain quiet, you can understand her emotions
If you squint you can make out the sliding little pills
If you look closely, you can see the small tablets moving
And if you muthafuckers don't like it you can all get out
If you don't approve, you can leave
And the gods still go sideways
It seems as though things are not going well with the divine powers
Or at least it seems like that these days
This appears to be the case recently
Oh dharma, they charmed her, never fall
Dharma was led astray, but she will never lose her way
God, to the pure is cruelest of all
For the innocent, God can be the harshest
Oh dharma, she'll never fall
Dharma will stay true to herself
She should believe in karma
Dharma should have faith in the concept of cause and effect
And maybe that's not all
Perhaps there is more to it than that
When you know you're like that
When you recognize your own behavior
And you just can't help yourself
But you're unable to stop it
When your feet walk back
When you retreat
And crush the fowers in the earth
Violently trampling the flowers on the ground
When your love turns black
When your affection turns malicious
And everything looks grey
When everything appears bleak and joyless
When your life goes back
When you regress
And you've got nothing left to say
And you're left with no words

If you listen and don't shout you can hear the way she feels
If you squint you can make out the sliding little pills
And if you mothafuckers don't like it you can all get out
And the gods still go sideways

And if you mothafuckers don't like it you can all get out
Oh dharma, they charmed her, never fall
God, to the pure is cruelest of all
Oh dharma, she'll never fall
She should believe in karma
And maybe that's not all
When you know you're like that
And you just can't help yourself
When your feet walk back
And crush the flowers in the earth
When your love turns black
And everything looks grey
