Maine’s Own Small Pond Announce Sophomore Album Soft Burn, Out October 21st

Portland quartet Small Pond have announced the second album Soft Burn will be released October 21st.

The new album was produced by Alex Farrar (who has worked with Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Briston Maroney, Snail Mail, & more) and was recorded at Drop of Sun Studios in Ashville, NC.“We recorded with Alex at Drop of Sun Studios, and he was a huge part of shaping this sound” says the band. “He let us find our own answers, gently steering when we needed it and keeping us from just copying our influences. Having a third party in the room made the hard, sometimes frustrating work of finishing a song so much easier, especially recording with people who know each other as well as we do. Everyone at the studio was kind and grounded, which put us at ease walking into a space that big for the first time. We drove down and back twice, 14 hours each way, all in Joe’s car… an experience in itself.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band also shared the new single Silver Coin. “Silver Coin’is about looking at a relationship from the outside almost like a third person perspective, watching yourself and not always liking what you see,” says Molly McDevitt. “It’s about the disconnect that comes when you know you’re not showing up the way you want to for the people who matter to you, and the discomfort of admitting that.”

Small Pond will perform in Belfast October 17th as part of All Roads Music Festival. For more on the band, visit smallpond.band
