Album Review: Man Man - On Oni Pond

5 September 2013 | 10:10 am | Justine Keating

They’ve struck an absolutely perfect balance between accessible and bizarre and have yet again proven themselves capable of producing consistently impressive and imaginative music without borrowing too much from past material.

More Man Man More Man Man



Following in the vein of their 2011 album Life Fantastic, Man Man are running with a sound that is a touch less eccentric than that of the three albums that came before. On Oni Pond, while full of dark oddities and a collection of unusual instrumentation, is tidily put together and gloriously – yet ungratuitously – peculiar. They've struck an absolutely perfect balance between accessible and bizarre and have yet again proven themselves capable of producing consistently impressive and imaginative music without borrowing too much from past material.
