Bardo Pond are an American 'psychedelic rock' band from Philadelphia, formed in 1991, and who are currently signed to London based label 'Fire Records'. The current members are 'Michael Gibbons' (guitar), 'John Gibbons' (guitar), 'Isobel Sollenberger' (flute and vocals), 'Clint Takeda' (bass guitar), 'Jason Kourkonis' (drums), and 'Aaron Igler' (synth/electronics). Bardo Pond's drug-inspired music is often classified as 'space rock', 'acid rock', 'post-rock', 'shoegaze', 'noise' or 'psychedelic rock'. Many Bardo Pond album titles have been derived from the names of esoteric psychedelic substances. Their sound has been likened to 'Pink Floyd', 'Spacemen 3' and 'My Bloody Valentine'.

Allmusic describes Bardo Pond as having "lengthy, deliberate sound explorations filled with all the hallmarks of modern-day 'space rock': droning guitars, thick distortion, feedback, reverb, and washes of white noise." Bardo Pond are a taper-friendly band who encourage fans to make recordings of their shows.
