Pre-Order: Bondo - Bondo [LP]

Los Angeles band Bondo balances force & restraint. Their music is world-building in a science fiction sort of way. The four-piece has honed their own type of post-rock/slowcore, built upon a strong foundation of live dynamics and a proprietary instrumental language. Their sound is narrative-like: a dream logic which is both intuitive and natural. Their most recent album finds Bondo once again playing live, combing through songs they know well with sincerity. While continuity persists through their 11 track offering, the band demonstrates a range of songwriting styles. Some tracks are more traditional, featuring verses and choruses that are easy to latch onto. Others rely on their signature instrumental sound, building subtle structures while still allowing room for meditations that ultimately dissolve into space.FFO: Duster, Acetone, Slint
