Description
Fire re-issue Bardo Ponds eponymous eighth studio album from 2010, their debut for Fire from way back when. A lysergic brain wrestler in which the Pennsylvanian drone outfit perfect their modal sound. Teasing the artistry of LaMonte Young and Terry Riley into a guitar shaped cauldron, the albums compulsive reverbed guitar shapes slowly simmer behind Isobel Sollenbergers esoteric vocals Like hearing a tannoy at a station in the voice of Jesus. The Quietus. A claustrophobic stuttering raga interlocks with their psychedelic leanings best exemplified on Cracker Wrist which sounds like something thats intentionally always just about to happen/and/or spin back in time. Featuring lengthy fully nurtured play offs between the quintet Bardo Pond is a heady statement thats like the most wholesome kind of vegan-friendly mushroom trips. Pitchfork reckons theyre playing fuzzed out stoner dreams. Vices musical brother Noisey likens them to Fugazi On Acid. Allmusic intervenes with: These are epic, soaring psychedelic ambient power-drone rock noise melodies where partially buried, distant female vocals are laced throughout a roaring, murky/sludge guitar soundscape.
One of underground rocks most extraordinary enigmas. The Quietus.
First time on Double Silver Vinyl. New inverted LTD edition artwork.
