Artist Biography
Bardo Pond are a long-running psychedelic rock band from Philadelphia. Explicitly drug-inspired -- their titles are filled with obscure references to psychedelics -- they favor 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. A flagship band of the "Psychedelphia" space rock movement during the '90s, the group stuck around long enough to draw comparisons to the spacier, noisier contingent of post-rockers, like Mogwai and Flying Saucer Attack. Since 2000, they've released a numerically titled series of improvisation sessions in addition to their proper studio albums. Subsequent releases have arrived on labels such as ATP (including 2003's On the Ellipse) and Fire Records (such as 2013's Peace on Venus and 2017's Under the Pines), in addition to reissues of rare early recordings like 1993's No Hashish, No Change Money, No Saki Saki.
