On The Ellipse, by Bardo Pond

On The Ellipse

by Bardo Pond

supported by

eric F Sawtooth distortion and feedback layered with striking, plaintive vocals and flute. Every Man pulls at the heart. Test envelops you in the heavy swell of slowly dispersing matter at the bottom of a distant planet's cold and alien sea. Favorite track: Every Man.

Thylute Bardo Pond is prolific. They have released absurd amounts of albums, live sets, jam sessions, collaborations, spin offs. I haven't heard every single track, but I have heard a lot, and the one I always go back to is Every Man.

Also, please release Amanita on Bandcamp. Favorite track: Every Man.

Came of age musically with this band. Very fond memories of trudging stoned as all fuck through snow-logged city parks at night listening to this album. Favorite track: Walking Clouds.

slayerfan66 I love almost everything about this special sound of BP!!!

about

A critically revered space rock masterpiece, 2003’s ‘On The Ellipse’ is reissued on double purple vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day.

Originally released on ATP Recordings, these songs take you on a deeply hypnotic cosmic mind-expanding trip from the beguiling heavy riffs of ‘Night Of The Frogs’ to the psych-folk of ‘Walking Clouds’.

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat

I was on a train travelling to Seefeld in Austria and had nothing but the Alps to look over from the windows. This was a perfect compliment to the environment I was in Robert A Johnson
