Yonder Pond - Pondering Aloud (2017)

Yonder Pond is the brainchild of Swiss drummer Remy Sträuli. Gaining his chops in numerous bands from Basel, ranging from Avant-Jazz, Glam Punk, Zappa tribute, Psych and Power Pop he considered his 40th birthday to be the right time for his own solo project, which musically takes place in the wondrous world of Progressive Rock, his first love (along with The Beatles of course).

A complex story around a depressed potato, a naughty rabbit and the loss of inspiration, the difficulties of a struggling artist and his awkward position in a modern world, where good manners seem to go down the tube.

“His clear, yet very own vocals harmonize with the memorable melodies. There is no real comparison that could accurately describe the full extent of "Pondering Aloud". 13 out of 15 points.” (Betreutes Proggen, Ger)
