Welcome! If you’ve been to the site before or if this is your first visit, we invite you to get lost in our new design. It’s been a while in the coming and we’re pleased with it. We’ve incorporated tons of new features and information into the site—lyrics to all of the band’s albums are now up, check out the modified and complete discography, read the (finally) revised FAQ, and glance over the easier-to-navigate image section. We have some additional features that we plan on unveiling over the near future such as a gigography, band bios and a comprehensive listing of the band’s equipment. Enjoy your stay and feel free to drop us some email at bardo@threelobed.com if you have any questions or comments.

Batholith-like follow-up due on LP in early 2009
It seems that everyone who is into Bardo Pond really dug Batholith, their early 2008 collection of “orphaned” tracks from throughout the band’s history. The band has culled together an additional (as of yet untitled) LP of similar material for release around March/April of 2009. Get ready! Folks were running through the streets and screaming “praise great Cthulhu!” when they found out that Batholith finally allowed such classics as “A Tune” and “Slip Away” to see the light of day. Get ready for a similar reaction when they find out that both “Chicken Gun” and “Silver Pavillion” are on this upcoming record. More details to follow. [last modified 10/22/2008 1:54 pm]
Batholith – LP on Three Lobed Recordings
Bardo Pond and Three Lobed Recordings are excited to announce the massive LP, Batholith. This one had previously been classified by the two parties as the “lost album.” Why? Well, it consists entirely of some of the band’s favorite material that has, for any number of reasons, never appeared on a proper album. We’re talking about classics like “A Tune” and “Slip Away.” This record came out sometime in early March 2008 in an edition of 1049 copies. A downloadable mp3 of “Slip Away” can be found on the Three Lobed Recordings catalog page. To be included on the discography soon. [last modified 4/2/2008 11:39 am]
