Bardo Pond and Yo La Tengo

Parallelogram A La Carte

Originally part of the bos but now avaiable individually. Bardo Pond and Yo La Tengo have long travelled in similar circles as underground lifers, but have never shared space on a non-compilation release. Three Lobed Recordings is ecstatic to dedicate one of the albums of the Parallelogram collection to righting this cosmic wrong. Bardo#s #Screens For A Catch (Fur Bearing Eyes)# contains top shelf representations of all of the signature sonic elements that have long-since endeared this band to so many. In addition to the careful interplay of Gibbons brothers# guitars, Isobel Sollenberger#s other-worldly vocal delivery, the unlike-anyone-else wall of sound, and the multi-phase, suite-like arrangement, this track sees new twists # such as Clint Takeda#s vocal harmonies # come into play. The eternally chameleonic Yo La Tengo exerts a certain mastery with respect to long-form songs. #Electric Eye,# the band#s immersive and heavy contribution to this LP, is a worthy addition to this portion of their canon. Georgia Hubley lays down a feral and commanding groove that glues together equal parts raw guitar phrasing with low end swirls. So hypnotic, and such a treat.
