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
― jumpskins, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 06:59 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Friday, 10 December 2010 12:49 (thirteen years ago) link
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

Listening so far, I'm not feeling it so much, but that may be because I am not listening LOUD enough.

This is totally badass, sounds a bit more like Grails than what I've heard from them before, tho' tbh I'm not 100% up on all of BP's music.

I wonder how I missed this. Like someone above, I'm one song in and kinda floored. Haven't been super thrilled with them of late, but am suddenly very interested.

Tis very good and coincidentally i just put this album on Spotify about 5 mins before the thread revive

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...
― dlp9001, Saturday, 19 March 2011 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I just got into this record too, loving it.

i neeed this still! glad to hear u guys liking it
― ilxor you've listened to one odd future album once (ilxor), Sunday, 20 March 2011 02:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Favorite song off this would probably be The Stars Behind...
Ticket Crystals is a really good album as well...
― I may be wrong but I think his name is Husher (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 20 March 2011 03:30 (thirteen years ago) link

― I may be wrong but I think his name is Husher (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 20 March 2011 03:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Think I have to turn in my Bardo badge, I can't get into the new one (or Ticket Crystals for that matter). T_T
― 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 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link
ticket crystals was a bit of a snooze... still waiting to hear the new one, sounds promising, though!
― ilxor you've listened to one odd future album once (ilxor), Friday, 25 March 2011 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link
"just once" rules
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 25 March 2011 15:37 (thirteen years ago) link
using "snooze" as an insult? maybe Bardo Pond is not the band for you...
― Destroy A. Monsters (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 25 March 2011 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link
pfffft! one of my favorites
― ilxor you've listened to one odd future album once (ilxor), Friday, 25 March 2011 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link
LOL j/k
this album is def. more atmospheric than, say, tuneful though...more of a subconscious album, doesn't rear its full majesty until it's off in the background
― 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.

Saw Bardo Pond play last night and they blew me away. So good!! Ned - any chance of an allmusic review/rating of their latest record?

Oh man, that was in Brighton right? Missed that, great to hear they were good though. Good turn out?

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 October 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, in Brighton. Not a bad turn out. Circle were also playing in Brighton last night which probably divided the psych rock masses. My first Bardo Pond live experience and they didn't disappoint.

Why am I only now realizing that "Undone" is such a monster???

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...
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1212273630_16.jpg
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...
