Bardo Pond - Bufo Alvarius

Bardo Pond is the project launched in Philadelphia by guitarist brothers John and Michael Gibbons. Their first singles, Trip Fuck (Drunken Fish, 1994) and Dragonfly (Compulsiv, 1995), were still rock songs, but branded with a strongly noisy, spacey guitar style. Their supersonic drone artistry is sublimated on Bufo Alvarius (Drunken Fish, 1995). Both the solemn pacing and downpouring of distortions of Adhesive and the jarring turbulence of Vent (swarms of extraterrestrial insects) coin, with their confused and repetitive jamming, a harmony that on a microscopic scale is obviously dissonant but on a macroscopic scale seems linear and melodic, a harmony that on a microscopic scale is obviously dynamic (frenetically dynamic) but on a macroscopic scale appears static. These two instrumentals alone sum up much of Bardo Pond's thinking. In the same dense mists of "dirty" chords are lost the whispered crooning in On A Side Street (a shadow of British shoegazers), the fleshier riffs of Capillary River (from which the influence of the MC5 seeps), the sly scales of Absence (in which the influence of Sonic Youth is apparent), sometimes with some barely more pronounced soloism, sometimes with a semblance of drum crescendo, but mostly respecting the delivery of never straying too far from where they began, from the hallucination that serves as their center of gravity. The three coordinates of the sound (Sonic Youth, MC5, shoegazer) end up destabilizing the rock song altogether, leaving it with only a spotty skeleton of arrangement. Overall, the guitars' endless excursus and Joe Culver's catastrophic drumming sing a triumphant hymn to the immanence of sound. The album goes into glory with the half-hour instrumental Amen, which begins with a loop of pedestrian metal clags interwoven with the guitars' heavy riffs and imperceptibly mutates into a delicate flow of guitar reverberations, galactic bass rumbles (Clint Takeda) and flute warbles (Isobel Sollenberger), absent the drums altogether. Traces of Royal Trux-devolved blues-rock still appear on this disc (Back Porch and No Time To Waste), destined to die out soon.
