![]() | Several Arrows Later Matt Pond PA Date: 11 October, 2005 — $11.98 — Music Rating: |

I had never heard of Matt Pond PA until I saw a reference to it on Crooks and Liars (a great site, BTW). I liked the artwork and it stuck in my mind for a couple of months. On impulse I bought the CD and am glad I did. Apparently, these guys have been around for a while and you can find a bunch of their albums on emusic if you are a subscriber. Okay, so it's a tad on the emo side--not that there's anything wrong with that! However, the songs are well-wrought and catchy, the lyrics are interesting and evocative and the production values are great. If you are looking for some hook-laden contemporary indie pop, you could do worse.
