bardo pond

I only have that on mp3 but i do have the Prairie Dog Flesh cdr.
What do you think of that?

MG: The new album, which is called Ticket Crystals. We're going to put a vinyl record out on Siltbreeze, just getting that finished up. That'll be hopefully coming out around then.

LW: That'll be an entirely Bardo Pond record?

MG: Yeah, an entirely different Bardo Pond record. It's basically from this one night of improvisations. That's going to be a completely improvised record. And then, we're going to have the Modern Containment series, we're going to get that done, and that's about it. We're going to have another EP that's going to be me, as 500mg, and Clint, as Takeda, and maybe a Bardo tune that's going to be available at the Terrastock show. It's going to be a CD EP. That'll be there, that'll probably be online too. We'll probably have another Alumbrados record, maybe another Vapour Theories record, just to get out more of mine, too. That's probably about it.

i fail to be excited by this. but i think LSD-march are pretty poor.

they're patchy, but i dig a lot of what they've done. Suddenly Like Flames is still their best, not so affected by their blues thing

The bonus EP that went out with their LP-only release -- wow.

Has anyone really been keeping up with the Pond releases? I have just gotten a copy of Peri (even though I guess it's probably pretty old by now) and it's fantastic. Some evil riffage and woozy sunburnt vocals, which i guess probably accounts for most of their catalog.. but i like it.

yeah i do(sometimes), got the latest one Gazing At Shilla,i couldnt afford the 3 other spin off lps though on important. Need to get vol 7 too

Peri's been on my "list of things to get" for a while but not really high enough for me to have done very much about it. I did read somewhere that it was the best thing they'd done in yonks.

Where should I start with this band? I've only heard two tunes (FC II and Walking Clouds), which I really like, but not sure what to plonk down the cash on. Am worried by the lofi album mention upthread, because I think in general this sort of thing needs good engineering to really pummel the listener, in a good sort of way.

I'll support this. I picked it up when it was first released from the Three Lobed store and yes, it's killer.

Can't go wrong with any of the Matador albums. Lapsed is my favorite, but Set And Setting and Amanita are equally as good.

There are a LOT of side projects, but both Hash Jar Tempo albums are the ones to get first.

Lapsed is my favourite as well, but I'd also recommend Bufo Alvarius and the already mentioned Amanita. I'm very anxious to hear Peri. For some reason I could never really get into the ATP albums of late.

yea lapsed is my favorite, too, and was also my introduction to them. amanita's good too but i never got into it as much as lapsed. been meaning to hear the others for a while. i think emusic has most of them

bardo pond up in this mf!

AMANITA is such a classic

like all time

Best thing about finding out there's a new album released on 6 Dec is that I don't have to wait very long to hear it.

Nope indeed.

Here is the, uh, album cover:

amazing cover. had no idea there was a new one coming out. i admit i haven't been keeping up closely with their records, side-projects, archival releases and what have you, maybe as much as i should. but yes, one of my favorites.

It's on Spotify.

How have Yankees gotten this? Just order it direct from Fire?

some dude i was talking to on slsk about a year ago showed me tommy gun angel and i was just like whoa fuck awesome guitar tone

i like to think that is everyone's reaction on hearing "tommy gun angel" the first time; it was certainly mine

I'm one song into the new album ("Just Once") ... and it's already AMAZING.

This is a really heavy album, probably their heaviest ever.

!!

where can i buy this?

opening track is truly heavy and great, though i'm not really feeling the softer tracks on this yet.

hmm okay, fire records... UK, right?

any word on a potential US release? are they still with ATP?

"just once" is a really nice closing credits at the end of the world desert blues noise dirge. exactly what i want to hear right now. "cracker wrist" is hitting me too. sounds straight out of a crazy horse jam session in neil's barn
