Bardo Pond: the story and songs to start with

Bardo Pond, a Philadelphia band built on improvisation and continuity

Bardo Pond is a Philadelphia psychedelic rock band that has been active since 1991. The supplied sources present the group as a long-running core of the Gibbons brothers, Isobel Sollenberger, Clint Takeda, and rotating drummers, with songs that often begin as riffs or jams and then evolve in rehearsal. Michael Gibbons says the band works from live full-band takes and then revisits them through overdubs and editing. The interviews also place the band firmly in Philadelphia and note that future Volumes releases, side projects, and solo records are still planned.
