Matt Pond PA’s The Ballad of the Natural Lines  is the sound of a man who loves driving fast and far, but who now balances that desire with a hard-won appreciation for slowing down and gazing in the rearview mirror to find beauty in the churned-up dust.

Throughout The Ballad, lyrics allude to – or brazenly reveal – a painful childhood, the astonishment of ardor, acceptance of one’s shadows. Some of this is new territory for Matt Pond PA. “I’ve never wanted to reveal too much of myself,” Pond says. “But some of that reluctance has prevented me from being specific, or really getting to the heart of things.”

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.

“I named the band after myself, but the fact is that this is a complete collaboration,” Pond says. “Everyone I’ve worked with lives in my head and in these songs.”
