Matt Pond PA: new album completed
After perusing Matt Pond PA’s blog, I came across this interesting and exciting entry. It looks like Matt Pond PA has finished a new album, following Several Arrows Later, to be released on Altitude Records! This is what he had to say:
August 24, 2006 – I think we’re getting closer to being finished with this beast. The record is an unruly animal that’s gotten into all my personal things and torn them up. Or it’s like one of those babies that isn’t cute in any way. It’s just wrinkly and red right now. Someday. Someday. I will put it to bed so that I may truly sleep…To be fair — Or to be honest — In the privacy of this quiet criticism, it’s the best thing that we’ve ever done as a band. I only whispered that last sentence.
The fall is about to drop. So are shows. Months of shows. Look out.
