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.

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.

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.

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.
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 30 June 2009 02:33 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

A few months down the line, the first song "Just Once" is possibly my favorite thing they've ever done and still in heavy rotation. After that, it's sort of downhill, but a slow and gently sloping downhill. "Sleeping" reminds me, of all things, of something from the Nadja soundtrack that I love so much. Floaty spacy drones in the background, etc. Watching live videos of them is weird. On the one hand, I'm aware that they're hippies, but listening to the albums it's possible to overlook that...

― Esteban Buttezface (Leee), Friday, 25 March 2011 04:55 (thirteen years ago) link
The two songs of theirs that I like the best (Inside and Just Once) both start out acoustic and ramshackle and then tighten up into drone-monsters. Kind of wonder if I've missed any, given their kind of large number of releases...
― dlp9001, Friday, 25 March 2011 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
there are songs--the long droney kind ("undone" for sure, but also "fc II" and "night of frogs")--where it doesn't work as listening to music per se...listening to undone just kind of makes me feel like I'm hanging out on a rowboat in the middle of a still pond watching the moon's reflection or something...y'know it's music for people who want to hang out in swamps but don't want to be eaten by mosquitoes...
my favorite songs on the new one are "The Stars Behind" and "Just Once", so maybe those are the ones that are the easiest to get, Leee...?

― Destroy A. Monsters (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 25 March 2011 15:44 (thirteen years ago) link
(Pretentious Opinions R Us)
"Stars Behind" for sure! But I'm far less of a fan of the shambling-acoustic-into-drone-monster Bardo than a lot of people, so "Just Once" only tries my patience.
Also, "FCII" = "Montana Sacra II" right? That one kills me, one of the few that do on Ticket Crystals, actually. ("FCII" was the track's name on the promo, btw... /nudgenudge)
this album is def. more atmospheric than, say, tuneful though...
Hm, maybe? I know we're talking relatively here, but they've always been atmospheric (I call it textural) even on the albums that I love most.

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...

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

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.
