Prior to forming Pond, Nick Allbrook and Joe Ryan were members of Mink Mussel Creek, along with Kevin Parker. After the band failed to release an album in six years, the members went their separate ways. Allbrook, Ryan, and their friend, Jay Watson, formed Pond under a mulberry tree in Daglish, a small western suburb of Perth, Western Australia. They conceived the idea of "an album of tropical psychedelic idiocy".[3]
On 28 October 2014, Pond performed "Don't Look at the Sun or You'll Go Blind" on KEXP-FM.[4] An extended six-minute version of the song was rerecorded and released as a single for the band's 2019 live album, Sessions. It is the only song from the album played live, and often closes out the band's sets.[5]
