this poll is void since Peace On Venus is clearly their best now!
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 02:31 (ten years ago) link
i dunno, i think the heaviest songs on the s/t are better jams, but that one does have some aimless folky spaceouts, ymmv
― j., Wednesday, 22 January 2014 02:41 (ten years ago) link
Still think the peyote blues of Set & Setting are the BP best, but Peace on Venus is immense.

Love the s/t (it's the album that sorta brought me back to this band after years of being outta the loop a bit) but the "Fir" > "Chance" > "Before The Moon" run of songs at the end of the new one is some next level shit (that may just be 'side 2,' dunno, haven't gotten vinyl version yet)
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 03:10 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, new album is great. Has gotten better for me each time I listen to it.
― grandavis, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 16:41 (ten years ago) link
Jimmywine otm but I still like the s/t more. Aimless folksy spaceouts are a must!

I can't remember if I voted in this poll, but Ticket Crystals is still their best by some margin. The new album is their most disappointing since "Dilate" (as in, still all right but disappointing).
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 26 January 2014 09:52 (ten years ago) link
nah Isobel sounds amazing (tho I get Dilate comparisons)
― stop ingesting (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 26 January 2014 19:06 (ten years ago) link
How did I only find out today about "Rise Above it All" and their cover of "Maggot Brain"? That EP (or whatever they're calling it) blows away anything from "Peace on Venus".

Agree about Dilate, but Peace on Venus is ten times better!

Only when there are bad vibrations can it harm you.

"Dragonfly" is really cute, "Affa" is gnarly, but I'm not so sure about the rest of the tracks.

not even "hummingbird mountain"?

If it's the same version on Big Laughing Jym, which I never listen to, it hasn't made an impression on me.
― Gibbering Hard Gibberish Soft (Leee), Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:14 (ten years ago) link
Dusting off BLJ, hey, this isn't as forgettable as I remembered it being! "Dispersion" is rad, classic Bardo noise sludge.

'apple eye' is pretty sick—that constant stream of fuzzed out guitar
― j., Thursday, 27 March 2014 00:21 (ten years ago) link
That description could apply to any song in their catalogue, but I still want to hear it.
― Leeee with three E's with 3 spelled out (Leee), Thursday, 27 March 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
stream kind of like if a can of silly string could be used to weaponize guitar fuzz. like a hose, but smaller.

― lolipsism (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 27 March 2014 18:14 (ten years ago) link
shit leee, this is really good, since it's a comp they don't really try for any 'album' diversity, it's just straight up hypnotic jams from one to the other
― j., Thursday, 27 March 2014 19:17 (ten years ago) link
They have another 12" coming out on RSD. Apparently is part 2 of a trilogy that started last year. This years covers are Ride Into The Sun and Here Comes the Warm Jets. Here comes the Warm Jets can be listened to on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/firerecords/bardo-pond-here-come-the-warm

OH SHUT UPare they trying to play all the best songs before someone else gets to them?
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Friday, 4 April 2014 19:15 (ten years ago) link
sorry i got a little excited therelistening to this right now, it's pretty goodbut it's kinda hard to fuck up "here come the warm jets"
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Friday, 4 April 2014 19:19 (ten years ago) link
also it's 16+ min longisobel sounds like kim deal
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Friday, 4 April 2014 19:20 (ten years ago) link
They should do "Rocket Man" and "Fortunate Son" next.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Friday, 4 April 2014 19:24 (ten years ago) link
the part at the end where they slow down is pretty great, like they're all totes exhausted i guess this cover is alright
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Friday, 4 April 2014 19:31 (ten years ago) link
Need to listen to these new covers! Last year's covers single was wonderful.

wonder if their cover of "here come(s) the warm jets" will rule as much as circle's did, on manner
― reggie (qualmsley), Sunday, 6 April 2014 15:17 (ten years ago) link
It rules in a different way, more ramshackle.

show last night in philly was excellent, if too brief (opening for silver mt. zion). isobel has to be the best frontperson in rock

these fun blown out cover 12" is are great
― illegalblues, Monday, 7 July 2014 20:24 (nine years ago) link
somehow the 'warm jets' cover makes them sound like a 90s alt group (i mean they are but you know what i mean)

Yes! In a totally good way.

What the, they released a compilation of early EP and non-album tracks last year!
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Monday, 23 February 2015 22:59 (nine years ago) link
Though looking at the track list, it seems I've heard most of these tunes and only two of them are, IIRC, worthwhile: http://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/refulgo
