  • The Philly quintet centred on the guitar-slinging Gibbons brothers play according to psych-dirge/doom-rock-cum-stoner-metal type on their sixth LP and, frankly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Bardo Pond are best known for their druggy drones and riffs which swing with all the heaviosity of a dinosaur’s dick, but these are offset by Isobel Sollenberger’s fragile, almost lost vocal tones and her quasi-pastoral flute work. Cosmic it may be, but ‘Ticket Crystals’ is not for wimps.
