Bardo Pond's extensive archive recordings series opens up once again with 'Volume 9', an incisive journey into the band's hypnotic sound. Recorded in the early 2000s, it's a heady mixture of acoustic ambience and menacing distortion. Infamous purveyors of longform stoner rock, Bardo Pond embrace their sludgestorms with graceful nods to Hawkwind, Earth and My Bloody Valentine.
