Synopsis

Product Description

Cool introspective combo outta Philadelphia, PA fronted by songwriter Matt Pond.. hence Matt Pond PA! Matt & his buddies play guitar, drums, cello, violin, french horn, flute & vocal harmonies to create powerful but not overbearing songs with oblique literary lyrics that still remain hook laden & almost hummable! Very Peter Gabriel-esque in the best possible way..

"I was driving home from work yesterday trying to figure out what exactly Matt Pond PA sounds like. I came up with Steven Kilby and Grant McLennan writing songs for 1982 Robert Smith to sing. All without a trace of irony.This is a beautiful cd full of memorable pop hooks and thoughtful instrumentation. If they'd been a little more electric, they might be huge; but the almost classical structure of some of the songs may be a little too "arty" for those who don't understand. Still, if they were electric, they might be gigantic.Measure, The Hollows, and Green Grass put forth enough pop punch to stay with you for days afterward. Very hummable. It's not often that I'll listen to something in the car then run in to the stereo to throw the same thing in when I get home. I've had this cd for months and it just gets better and better.Recommended for fans of The Go Betweens, 1980's Church, Cardinal, Eric Matthews, and Richard Davies.One of the best releases of the last decade (no kidding!)."

"Wow. What a sweet cd. It reminds me of early Cure and The Go Betweens. Cello, flute, french horn and painfully sad lyrics. Don't miss this one."
