For more than two decades, Matt Pond has quietly built one of the most enduring and emotionally resonant catalogs in indie rock. From early touchstones like Several Arrows Later and Emblems to fan-favorite records like The Dark Leaves and The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand, his work has been praised by outlets including Pitchfork, NPR, and Rolling Stone. His songs have appeared in television and film, his live shows have cultivated fiercely loyal audiences across the U.S. and Europe, and his songwriting continues to evolve — cinematic, intimate, and unafraid of beauty.

Matt Pond PA has shared stages with artists across the indie landscape and remains a singular voice: literate, melodic, string-laced, and deeply human.

Matt Pond’s very name evokes the natural world in which his songs are so often set, with their evocative lyrics about the sometimes jagged edges of love, the pros and cons of connection, and the agony and ecstasy of memory. He has always mapped the universal emotions of being alive onto the contours of his own stories.

From the band’s beginnings in Philadelphia, to their current home in the heart of the Hudson Valley, through 13 albums (among them Emblems, Several Arrows Later, The Dark Leaves, The State of Gold, and, most recently, the luminous The Natural Lines), Matt Pond PA has always been a living, breathing organism—one that’s constantly changing. Two notable mainstays are Pond’s longtime right-hand man, Chris Hansen, and cellist Hilary James.

With Minneapolis based depression pop project of Hilary James, Bathtub Cig.
