Matt Pond delivers on the newest album, just as good as the numerous albums past. There are new sounds and familiar ones combined on "Last Light." While I understand I've only listened to it once, I'm sure it's an album that will grow rapidly on me. That's what the 4 stars are for. I'd suggest buying it on itunes, you get a ton of extra songs, including the whole "If You Want Blood" EP, all for 9.99!!! But if you're into purchasing albums, I'd suggest doing that too. Anyway to get this refreshing release by one of today's most invigorating indie artists. Just in time for fall, in true MPPA fashion! Enjoy.

Excited and eager to hear matt pond's newest album in just under two years, Last Light was far from your average album. Combining the matt pond of the past and the more dynamic sound the band now contains, Last Light is a perfect balance of both. Again, Matt delivers sincere vocals amidst catchy hooks, guitar solos, hand claps, and the almighty cello.
Despite changing members quite often, mpPA never fails to impress as new members bring their own unique elements to certain tracks (ie: guitar solo in The Crush). If you've been a fan of his work, i highly recommend this album. At the same time, if you're looking for something new to put on your iPod, I highly suggest giving this album a listen. This may break-through album and one of the best of this year.


Tracks that stand out the most: People Have A Way,Taught To Look Away, Basement Parties, Sunshine.

I like this every bit as much as Several Arrows Later. I was hooked with the first listen. Like the previous reviewer said: no filler here. Every song has it's own little bit that adds to the album; after hearing this I'm a bit sad. I might not be in Seattle when MPPA comes to town at the end of March, and they will have swooped through Florida before I move there. What's a boy to do?
