matt pond.......2007-03-19

Everyone I've ever showed this band to fell in love with them. Emblems was my first introduction to them, and its perfect. I love the arpeggio guitar, the cello i mean c'mon a cello? This is classy stuff. Saw them in northhampton, ma in a small place, they were awesome and matt pond is a pretty funny guy. The lyrics are pure poety and quite beautiful. I also love when they sometimes use dissonant notes that battle each other, breaking out of the mold.

matt pond PA Emblems.......2006-01-29

A wonderful, wonderful album. Not a bad song on the cd. The lyrics are thought provoking, the music warm and enjoyable. matt pond PA, as on their previous album, have made an album not just for fans of "indie" bands, but one that any music fan will enjoy. They know thier way around a catchy hook, while not giving anything up lyrically. Fans of matt pond PA must have this album. One of my top 5 albums for 2005.

Not a bad song in the bunch!.......2005-03-20

Sadly, I was introduced to Matt Pond by the OC--maybe that doesn't do much for my indie-cred, but the song, "New Hampshire" caught my ear and lodged itself in my head after hearing it only once . . . The rest of the album is equally impressive: poetic lyrics, interesting melodies and a unique sound. Favorites include the aforementioned "New Hampshire," "Closest (Look Out)" and "Bring on the Ending." If you like singer-songwriter artists like Joseph Arthur or Damien Rice, you'll like MPPA. Do yourself a favor and buy this album--you won't be sorry!

Amazing music. Period........2005-02-26

This is such an enjoyable record. The sense of melody & harmony is amazing, the instrumentation and arrangements keep everything interesting, and I always come back for multiple listens. Matt Pond pa's songs (on all their records) are just material that sticks with you long after the disc stops spinning. There are relatively few records I can honestly say I make it all the way through and turn right around and listen to again, but this is one of them. Acoustic guitars serve as the material's central focus, but they're not strummed in the plain, singer/songwriter way that's overly used and abused. The use of rhythms is intriguingly different, and each song has a wonderful sense of scope to suck you in. The acoustics are supplemented with tasteful electric guitars, cello (her parts are always interesting and memorable), rhodes, organs, keyboards, and a fantastic rhythm section. You can always walk away from one of these songs with no less than a dozen melodies in your head, be it the vocals, the cello, the guitars, whatever. If beautiful, catchy "chamber pop" even intrigues you a little, go for this record. It's a great place to start with their material, and in my opinion tops the last record (The Nature of Maps, which I absolutely loved).

Beautiful Chamber Pop.......2004-12-19

At first listen, you'd swear that Matt Pond was just a pseudonym for Peter Gabriel; the similarity of their voices on several of the songs on this album is startling. This is music that builds; Pond's voice is one of many instruments used to construct a series of richly textured songs. Another of the band's five members is a cello player; her work adds a unique sound to the album, driving forward many songs with an intensity that only an instrument played with a bow can. The lyrics are deeply personal-surely some of the events related here actually happened to Pond-and the music suits this. Lush and layered, it cradles Pond's words and emphasizes them. This is probably the least-known and lowest-selling record I bought in 2004-but it deserves a much wider audience. It's only $10!

Best of Current 93.......2000-03-07

The first disc of this double "Best of.." compilation is entiteled Great Black Time, and (as title might suggest) is representable of the early, noise/experimetal material. The second CD is called Mighty in Sorrow, and sure enough it's the more recent, apocalyptic folk stuff. This compilation represents the band rather well and makes a great introduction to the world of Current 93 where nothing is what it seems...

A perfect example of Carter's underrated early work........1999-01-01

The pieces contained on this disc may well be among the most underrated in 20th Century American music. While the sound and performances on this disc leave a bit to be desired (when will Dawn Upshaw record the brilliant "Warble for Lilac Time" or "Voyage"?) this is still an entirely worthwile disc in that it contains nearly all of Carter's early vocal music. In addition, these are the arrangements for large ensembles. Recordings of some of these works arranged for soloist and piano are available, but the orchestral versions are more effective.

It is hard to understand why these pieces continue to be so little-known. They are very accessible, easily describe as beautiful--words not often associated with Carter's post-1948 output. Carter's early style more closely approximates Barber, or the neo-romanticism of Stravinsky than the starkly dissonant, incredibly complex music most listeners think of now as typical Carter. The intricacy of Carter's writing is still what sets it apart, though. This collection's most straightforwardly lyrical selection, "Voyage", is far more tightly woven, and less obvious than, say, Barber's "Knoxville:Summer of 1915". "Three Poems of Robert Frost" makes fresh, daring use of the guitar with soprano and orchestra. "Musicians Wrestle Everywhere" and "To Music" are masterworks for unaccompanied mixed choir. All the pieces mentioned thus far deserve a place in the standard repertoire of ensembles capable of playing them.

Whatever Carter's reasons for taking on the dramatic stylistic change that started with 1948's "Sonata for Cello and Piano" (which has produced plenty of great music), even Carter's own doubts about the worthiness of some of his early music will surely be overcome as audiences recognize the young genius captured in these stunning works.
