Matador announces remastered reissues from Philadelphia’s Bardo Pond. Their classic 1999 LP Set and Setting returns on purple vinyl, featuring the 11-minute opener “Walking Stick Man” and the single “This Time (So Fucked).” Alongside it, the new double LP Melt Away collects late-’90s rarities and outtakes, including the six-minute highlight “The Trail,” making its vinyl debut. A peak period of the band’s psychedelic creativity, perfectly suited to Timothy Leary’s mantra: “never take psychedelics without proper set and setting.”
