Got a promo at the shop and listened a couple times this weekend – if you dug Peace On Venus you will like this'n. Though I could always do with more flute.

Another new LP announced! Pretty excited about this one as they've been on a roll...

Volume 8 is out Feb. 2, 2018.
First single "Kailash" here --> https://soundcloud.com/firerecords/bardo-pond-kailash
1. Kailash2. Flayed Wish3. Power Children4. Cud5. And I WillBrand new album from Philadelphia’s much loved neo-space rock stoner drone outfit. A euphoric transcendental journey to a mountain top nirvana, a psychedelic tapestry that slowly unwinds as they travel onwards into the inner mind. A 40-minute opus delivered from a hail of reverb soulfully caressed by a ceremonial flute, that makes way for a shroud of ‘Weld’—era Neil Young fog. Bardo Pond is your rather ruffled tour guide to this far off place, this distant sense of wonderment at the crossroads with bewilderment. Loved and lauded by the late Lou Reed and his wife Laurie Anderson, Jesus & Mary Chain, Mogwai and many more and acclaimed in the music press as such...

Just got Peace on Venus, released in 2013. So good. I've only got about ten or so BP albums but I've never really heard them put a foot wrong

lol "only." But yes, more or less agree there.

Ha! Out of potentially a few dozen releases!

I just picked up Volume 8 which I had no idea existed until I saw it in a shop recently. Sounds great so far - extra murky.

Vol. 8 moved the needle (well, barely) on the other thread: BARDO POLLND
And yes, it is awesome.

Just snagged a clean used copy of Amanita from '96 – shame it's never been repressed, as it holds up quite well.
Still bummed I missed them in Chicago a couple years back. Only Philly & NYC shows since.
...carry on.

Hm, you know, I think I did! So thank you for this!

They haven’t come back since Covid have they? I saw them at least twice in the 00s as part of bills with other bands I wanted to see but I didn’t really appreciate them…I think at that time in my life I was looking for the songs and totally missing the sounds (esp the guitar) but if they came back now I would very much appreciate them.

I recall seeing a FB photo of Clint and one of the Gibbons brothers playing somewhere in Philadelphia last year, but it wasn't a full Bardo show (or perhaps something that would be an official side project). I hope everyone noticed that Volume 9 was released in February - https://bardopondmusic.bandcamp.com/album/volume-9 Would love to see them play again.
