Background

While it's the fourth album released overall by Pond, Beard, Wives, Denim was released to more critical acclaim and received more mainstream attention than past efforts. Earlier albums featured a more experimental sound and improvisational aspect to them, whereas Beard, Wives, Denim honed in on more typical rock music structure, albeit with mid-song jams remaining intact.[5]
