Bardo Pond...

Bardo Pond is nearing the release of their next official studio album Ticket Crystals, due out on 06/06/06 on ATP Recordings. Some date, huh? For those that may have taken a listen to any of Bardo Pond's previous albums, then you pretty much expect more of the same deal here with them giving you yet another giant slab of their completely psyched out drifting fuzz rock. Bardo Pond happens to be one of those bands I couldn't possibly keep up with collecting or tracking down their output, as it is quite prolific. A lot of it being out of print as it is, makes that task look even more impossible. However, they are a great band and I am probably just a lazy asshole for not trying. Thankfully they are very good about archiving the majority of their output and keeping that information handy on their website over at Hummingbird Mountain where you can purchase various improvised jam sessions that are released in volumes of self made CD-R's. A very cool deal for those that are fans.

While Ticket Crystals probably won't change anyones opinion of the band, for fans of psych/folksier rock, it's yet another solid release from the group. A massive one at that, and possibly one of the heavier releases from the group. Regardless, be sure to pick up the album from ATP Recordings on June 6th if you dig it.
