"Touch", "Venus in Fur" and "Shiver" are excellent. Get it while it's possible.

Fantastic EP. Why the unnecessary scarcity of 121 copies? Repress would be greatly appreciated

Black Pond is a collaborative project between Beta Evers from South-Germany & Jeff Gallea (from Eleven Pond) from South-California. Both started their musical career in a very early age in the 80's. Not so very long ago they met via internet and decided to combine their talents for a contemporary wave/synth sound. The 4-song ep 'Chasms' is their debut ep. They both recorded synths and beats for all songs through a ping-pong system, means: one of them started with a song seed, the other one continued to work on it, back and forth until a song was finished. Also the vocals were done by both members. On the A side Black Pond presents "Touch", a melancholic slow song and the moving, occultish "The Lake". On the B side we can listen to an electrified, deep cover version of Velvet Underground's "Venus In Furs" and the danceable synth stomper "Shiver". A promising debut that whets our appetite for more!

As the best dj in existence I always keep an ear to the ground for interesting music that speaks to me. The Black Pond Ep found me trying to find it! I was amazed when I heard the production of this Ep including the golden seductive voice of Beta Evers (Kommando 6) flooding the darkest Chasms of my soul with a musical light and bass lines of Jeff Gallea (Eleven Pond). I highly recommend this album for those of you into the waves.~KB* of The Best Radio Show in the galaxy "The Darkest Hour"
