Bardo Pond is an American psychedelic rock band formed in Philadelphia in 1991. The current members of Bardo Pond are Michael Gibbons, John Gibbons, Isobel Sollenberger, Clint Takeda, and Jason Kourkounis, who recently replaced Ed Farnsworth who had been filling in on drum duties since the Lapsed tour. Bardo Pond’s loud, drug-inspired music is often classified as space rock, post-rock, or psychedelic rock.

Allmusic describes Bardo Pond as having “lengthy, deliberate sound explorations filled with all the hallmarks of modern-day space rock: droning guitars, thick distortion, feedback, reverb, and washes of white noise.” Bardo Pond is a taper-friendly band that encourages fans to make recordings of their shows.

After giving Amanita several spins in a few days, I'm really starting to feel like fish life is high life. I'd go for a swim in the soupy mix, for sure.

EEC directive 72E 1-a −√x clause θ clearly states: Music should adhere to a clear verse/chorus, verse/chrous/, middle eight structure at all times. Neither should it confuse nor excite listeners at any juncture. And yet, bold as brass, there’s all this crazy music available online to listen to! I’m writing to Dr Strasbourg baby. This just aint right.

Lapsed first, then Amanita if you don't mind flutes, or On the Ellipse, or, well, anything else by them really..

I am absolutely loving Bufo Alvarius and want to get some more Bardo Pond. Any recommendations? I've been told some of them have too much flute and wailing. Is that so? I don't mind a bit of flute and wailing.
