Sneak peek at new stuff.
Bardo Pond are continuing work on their new Matador album,
tentatively scheduled for early 2001. If you can’t wait
that long (and several hundred, possibly thousands of you, can’t),
the wonderful persons at Hummingbird
Mountain are releasing a limited edition 3 song 10", including
“Blurred,” which is available in mp3 form.

Over at Hummingbird
Mountain, they’ve got MP3’s of new Bardo Pond

Matador and other places. Check it out. Please.

Bardo Pond just got back from the UK where, among
other things, they rocked the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival
at Camber Sands on April 9. The festival was arranged by Mogwai,
who like to consider themselves Bardo’s biggest fans, but
anyone who hangs out in the art department knows better.
If you follow the official Bardo Pond website Hummingbird
Mountain, you’ve enjoyed the ongoing MP3 series they’ve
been offering. The band will soon be offering an EP of new material,
similar in style to the MP3s, and available exclusively through
Hummingbird Mountain. There will also be a new Bardo Pond 7",
limited to 500 copies, which will mostly only be available through
Hummingbird Mountain as well.

Gerard on the London Anniversary shows: A really fun 3 days,
tons of musical ground covered and all kinds of barriers shattered.
Live Human were amazing, Sleater-Kinney had the room screaming,
JSBX had the entire city screaming, but no one knocked out so
many patrons as the Arsonists. Except for maybe Bardo Pond,
so we'll call it a tie.

The latest release from Bardo Pond, ‘Set and Setting,’
is due in record shops next week, August 10th. Matador presents
“Datura,”
the third track on the album, for your digital enjoyment.
Jesper adds: Vinyl buyer! New Bardo Pond album is probably the
finest looking piece of art we’ve released in a long time.
However, we, they, them, it confused the layout of the LP tracklisting
with strings, mirrors, hypnose, cloroform... This one actually
has 3 songs on side one (not 4) and 4 on side two (not 3), as
follows (please ignore LP inner sleeve and LP labels). Sorry:
Side
One:
1. Walking Stick Man
2. This Time (So Fucked)
3. Datura
Side Two:
1. Again
2. Cross Current
3. Crawl Away
4. #3
