Matador is pleased to confirm further reissues with legendary Philadelphia ensemble Bardo Pond. Following the long-since sold out repress of ‘Amanita’ in 2021, Bardo Pond will rele ase a remastered edition of their classic 1999 LP ‘Set and Setting’ on purple vinyl, featuring the eleven-minute opener “Walking Stick Man” and the single “This Time (So Fucked).” Accompanying ‘Set and Setting’ is the new double LP compilation ‘Melt Away,’ cataloguing late-90s rarities and outtakes from a creative apex in the band’s career, released together on vinyl for the first time. Album highlight “The Trail,” originally recorded for the ‘What’s Up Matador’ compilation, dissolves six minutes into a moment. Blink once and you’ll miss it. Blink twice and the wallpaper might start to move. Timothy Leary said “never take psychedel-ics without proper set and setting.” Available on October 25th, these two additions to the mighty Bardo Pond oeuvre would not be a badplace to start.Double LP compiling rarities from ‘96-’99 on vinyl for the first time.Tracklisting Olive Skin Tapir Dub Son of Dispersion Anadamide (Complete) Shadow Puppet The Division of Nature The Trail Long Ride Despite the Roar Highlands Show more
