Amamita | 25th Anniversary Edition

Matador Records will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bardo Pond's long out-of-print second album and label debut, Amanita, with a newly remastered 2xLP reissue. Formed in 1991, the Philadelphia-based quintet have spent some thirty years mapping guitar music's outer limits – dialing into extremes of noise, chaos, and harmony in free-form compositions that now unfurl across 12 full-length records and a near-limitless body of EPs, cassettes, and CD-Rs Recorded by the lineup of John Gibbons (guitar), Michael Gibbons (guitar), Isobel Sollenberger (voice, flute), Clint Takeda (bass), and Joe Culver (drums), Amanita is the place where the band's spontaneous collective creativity blazed into maturity. 'What's the chemical your brain releases when you're overwhelmed? Endorphins. That's what we were trying to get to when we played these parts.'
