Still Messed Up After All These Years

By LHB

If any rope (including a good shoegaze acts of past and present) throws adult a bigger, some-more inhuman wall of sound, I've not listened them. There's not many here in a approach of Ash Ra Tempel/Acid Mother's lead guitar jamming; a importance is on a virtuosic, monolithically complicated stroke guitar of a Gibbons brothers and Isobel Sollenberger's processed, discarnate rants and chants. Tommy Gun Angel and Flux are many some-more intense, twisted and messed adult than we can start to accumulate from a 30 second clips above. A lot of early unusual strain seems to be formed on a grounds that we can change a universe if we travel around putting flowers in all a right places. The Pond' character of psychedelia seems to be formed some-more on a grounds that we can change a universe by using over all a jerks in it with a dump truck. Drive On!

Waaaay over "heavy"...just...BEYOND

By David DeShong

Well, after doing a examination of their latest "official" recover Dilate, we motionless to toss my dual cents in a ring for Lapsed as well, especially given we consider that, as someone elsewhere stated, this is a ideal starting indicate for people whose ears haven't been unprotected to a Pond. Lapsed is rather shorter than possibly Amanita or Dilate (two absolutley essential albums in their possess right) and offers adult a good mix of sounds including some acoustic guitar.
The manuscript kicks off (I should contend KICKS OFF!!!) with "Tommy Gun Angel", a strain that is so amazingly complicated it still rings in my ears. Completely elevates a tuned in listener to another area of consciousness. we am not exaggerating. These guys (and girl) have strike on some sonic regulation that we wish carries them by a subsequent integrate of decades of output. As another reviewer wrote, this is psychedelia totally abandoned of nostalgia for a ended era. It is a NOW SOUND, kiddos. Don't let another day go by though owning this one.

no backward-looking psych, this...

By A Customer

bardo pond's subaquatic, super-heavy psychedelia has kept me riveted ever given i chanced to lane down their initial LP, 'bufo alvarius' on a recommendation that it sounded like robert hampson's loop...well, that was an false comparison for a many part, though a manuscript grew on me, and bardo seemed to be really focused and intelligent, in annoy of carrying smarts so drug-addled that they should all be vegetables...

i am not a fan of many psychedelia...i've laughed during sundial releases, with their 60s vibe and absurd lyrics and attempts to "rock"...i have no seductiveness in a wankery and retro groovery of many psych-acts today...it's tired, stooopid in a dimmest stone n hurl clarity of a word, and hopelessly out of touch...

but bardo pool continues to somehow hedge such traps record after record...'amanita' was a stately trip, dim and unreal and what one would wish a unusual rope would sound like if they were wakeful of a decade (hear me, sundial??)

they followed that with 'lapsed', and fearlessly chucked a oblivion of 'amanita' (see "tapir song") for a heaviest thing i've listened in a while (justin broadrick of godflesh would be impressed, methinks)...the songs on 'lapsed' are extraordinary slabs of sound, during turns terrifying, soaring, snarling, and officious beautiful...

you see, a pool has small calm for retro-fitting their sound, or staying with one idea...the grievous "flux" is hypnotic, and so low-end we design to incidentally dirt yourself..."green man" is one a of loveliest instrumentals i've ever listened with guitars involved...the gibbons brothers are in adore with wah-wah, distortion, and all that, though they are so damn savvy and in adore with creation FRESH strain that any kind of seared season is eradiciated right away...

the hammering blues of "straw dog", in that isobel rants rather than murmurs (i like both) such pearls as "i f**ked myself" (goodness gracious!) is followed by an wonderful, prolonged tripped out strain called "aldrin" where a bardos revisit a extensive "amen" from 'bufo alvarius' and conduct to make a constrained ten-plus notation song, that erupts in comprehensive disharmony and offers a best low-pitched chronicle of a impulse before passionate consummate i've heard...the strain builds unbearably for usually a small too prolonged before isobel coos "swing behind in..." (or something like that) and a strain returns...the sex embellishment is tiresome, i know, though take a listen and maybe you'll see what i mean...

it's astoundingly successful music, and bardo pool is spinebending live as well...one need not be a fan of drugs or psych-rock (i am not) to suffer this...they are one of usually a few american bands i consider are estimable of profitable courtesy to...so keep your 'tortoise' and 'malkmus'...gimme some some-more bardo pond...
