Pond was a band from Portland, Oregon. They formed in 1991 and broke up in 1998. They were signed to Sub Pop Records (first two albums) and the Work Records sub-label of Sony Records (last album). The band, unlike their contemporaries, leaned on a more progressive side of music. Many saw them as "dark and odd" due to Pond's experimental-progressive musical practices, such as an electric bass being played like a lead guitar, and Pond's sometimes dark, haunting, gloomy music.
