BARDO POLLND

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".

The new album is their most disappointing since "Dilate" (as in, still all right but disappointing).

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.

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

That description could apply to any song in their catalogue, but I still want to hear it.

stream kind of like if a can of silly string could be used to weaponize guitar fuzz. like a hose, but smaller.

!

a ribbon. an electric ribbon of fuzz. say a current. a live wire.

!!

a band, a plan,

Are you the (wo)man with the Bardo Plan?

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

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 UP
are they trying to play all the best songs before someone else gets to them?

sorry i got a little excited there
listening to this right now, it's pretty good
but it's kinda hard to fuck up "here come the warm jets"

also it's 16+ min long
isobel sounds like kim deal

They should do "Rocket Man" and "Fortunate Son" next.

the part at the end where they slow down is pretty great, like they're all totes exhausted
i guess this cover is alright

!!

Need to listen to these new covers! Last year's covers single was wonderful.

I remember Isobel saying on FB that the guys wanted to cover On the Beach

This years covers are Ride Into The Sun and Here Comes the Warm Jets.

OH YES [/dies happy]

Listen to it first!

oh hell yes
this has made me so happy

wonder if their cover of "here come(s) the warm jets" will rule as much as circle's did, on manner

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

Ugh, they need to come out West again.

I may be more happy to see them at Austin Psych Fest than Loop.

Spoiler alert: 16 minutes long

Oh this is all upthread. Sorry.

these fun blown out cover 12" is are great

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!

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

i dunno, i love Refulgo. best thing might be the epic Sangh Seriatim though

lol wtf we already went over this. xp

~Something~ about this band seems to promote forgetfulness.

don't know what you're talking about.
this hasn't been mentioned though, right? http://thekey.xpn.org/2015/02/04/kss-bardo-pond-underground-arts/

The final part of the covers trilogy is In Every Dream Home a Heart Ache and Music Is the Healing Force of the Universe. In Every Dream... can be listened to here: https://soundcloud.com/firerecords/bardo-pond-in-every-dream/s-FiYIe

I need that little animated gif of the smiley face that goes like :-O and then the mouth gets bigger and bigger until the face is blacked out and the mouth expands to cover the entire universe and suck in all light and matter to express how I feel about that.

Hope they put these out on CD or something because I never found the first two and doubt I'll find the third.

You can probably email them directly!
