Philadelphia, United States (1991 – present)

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.

TOMMY GUN ANGEL IS FUCKING MINDBLOWING. i could cry and i could fight for my life with this song, it could be a soundtrack to my life or a song i want to avoid because it's so emotional, i wanna be carried in the skies on this song through the air through the clouds and everything could be fine

Thanks for the responses. No disrespect to the band, and I totally understand where you all are coming from since I have the same response to other artists that could sound indistinguishable to the uninitiated or to those who'se ear just doesn't resonate with the style. I'll dig into these tunes some more.
