Bardo Pond – Set and Setting 25th Anniversary LP Vinyl Record (Purple Coloured Vinyl)

Set and Setting is Bardo Pond’s 1999 album, a landmark in the Philadelphia band’s experimental rock catalog. Known for their heavy, psychedelic soundscapes, the album blends droning guitars, dense feedback, and hypnotic rhythms. 

Key tracks include the sprawling 11-minute opener “Walking Stick Man” and the intense single “This Time (So Fucked).” The title references Timothy Leary’s advice about psychedelics, and the music mirrors that ethos with its expansive, immersive experience. Set and Setting remains a defining moment for Bardo Pond, solidifying their reputation as pioneers of psych rock.
