Matt Pond PA
The Green Fury

(Polyvinyl)

T.J. Simon's #23 album for 2002

First Appeared at The Music Box, February 2003, Volume 10, #2

Written by T.J. Simon

Matt Pond PA (he’s from Pennsylvania, get it?) has a voice reminiscent of Robert Smith of The Cure and a songwriting style similar to Josh Rouse or David Gray. His lush, symphonic brand of emotive pop gets better with each listen. Filled with string accompaniments and heartfelt lyrics, some might call Pond’s music chamber pop, while others might call it emo (whatever that means). After hearing the lovely compositions on The Green Fury, including Canadian Song and City Plan, I just call it exceptional music. ½
