Corridors of Blissterday is the second studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band Pond, released on 4 June 2009 through Badminton Bandit. It was described as "a frenzied effort recorded live with an eight piece band at some point (nobody seems to remember exactly when) in 2009."[1]

In March 2012 Pond member Jay Watson (drums, guitar) described their early work to Bryget Chrisfield of Inpress, "We were just a freeform, acid-rock jam band thing. We didn't really have songs or anything, you know. We did that for a while, the first two albums [Psychedelic Mango and Corridors Of Blissterday] are kinda like that, and then I think we thought that everyone thought we were just stoner idiots and so we wanted to prove – to ourselves – that we could write pop songs, choruses."[2]
