    Rock and roll isn’t dead; it’s just morphing into something less familiar, something darker and more beautiful and strange.

    Guitarists John and Michael Gibbons tar into riffs which, for all their power, articulate a cosmic loneliness, while Isobel Sollenberger intones troubled mantras with the benighted insistence of an unquiet spirit. [Oct 2013, p.55]

    Given its largely austere terrain and relatively unvaried inclines, Peace On Venus is not ultimately a Bardo Pond album that lends itself to easy traversing. However, it still confidently captures a group holding its own against latter-day and more voguish heavy-psychedelic peddlers.

    Peace On Venus is a fine example of what they produce. [Dec 2013, p.65]

    Fans of BP will no doubt delight in this masterful set, while newcomers will experience their brand of mind-melding consciousness expansion en masse.

    Peace On Venus is arguably the band’s finest (half-)hour since Dilate.
