Bardo Pond - Bardo Pond - Volume 9 [Vinyl]
Barcode: 809236170897

Bardo Ponds extensive archive recordings series opens up once again with 'Volume 9', an incisive journey into their hypnotic sound. Recorded in the early 2000s its a heady mix of acoustic ambience and menacing distortion.

Infamous purveyors of longform stoner rock, Bardo Pond embrace their sludgestorms with graceful nods to Hawkwind, Earth and my bloody valentine. For anyone uninitiated with the bands tranquilizing sound, Volume 9 leans into their mesmeric practise with reckless abandon.

Featuring two tracks recorded with ace percussionist Michael Zanghi (Kurt Vile/The War On Drugs) and the seminal two parter War Is Over, a lilting Floydian strum thats invaded quite literally by unreconstructed noise. The Zanghi collaboration is an Eastern-facing mantra with percussive flurries and distorted modal shifts like listening on the other side of feedback.

Effortlessly combining psychedelic inspirations from Pink Floyd's original explorations to the more modern reachings into the beyond AllMusic.
