Corridors of Blissterday is the second studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band Pond, released in Australia on 4 June 2009, through local Perth label, Badminton Bandit. The album was recorded as an eight-piece band in four days,[1] and only 200 CD-Rs were produced and released.[2] The album was released digitally on Apple Music with two live tracks.[3]
In 2022, Western Australian Music and the State Library of Western Australia presented the "Corridors of Blissterday initiative", a competition open to Western Australian sound practitioners to "develop a contemporary work referencing and incorporating the State Library of Western Australia Heritage Collections." The competition was won by Sze "Samarobryn" Tsang.[4]
Mastered versions of "Sweet Loretta" and "Mist in My Brainforest" were included on The Early Years: 2008–2010, which released on 12 April 2025.[5]
