Altered Zones

Been listening to the monumental guitar work on this track by Philly acid rock magnates Bardo Pond on repeat since AZ contributor Kenny Bloggins of A Decibel Tolls hipped us to their latest full-length album, which has the particularity of being self-titled despite arriving a good two decades into their career. According to Bloggins, the band's 8th studio release (and also their first on London's Fire Records) sees them treading familiarly ominous waters with minutely sharpened skill: "If you like Bardo Pond, you will like this record. If you don’t, you won’t. But if you like Bardo Pond and were hoping to hear them discover new approaches, you’re not in luck this time." Read the full review here.
