Capturing a mood caught somewhere between alert and energized and blissful, this release from the group known as Matt Pond PA serves as an introduction to confessional songwriting that shows that it need not all be self-indulgent. It's a detached record and yet it is earnest. For all of its heart-on-a-sleeve acoustic guitar strumming, there are string-laden majestic moments that manage to have a wider scope. Tracks like "City Plan" and "Promise the Bite" alternate between being spaced-out wonders and pop music gems. It's not that Matt Pond is necessarily that expressive as a singer, but in terms of expressing a mood -- melancholy laced with less than a tinge of sincerity -- this is where the record succeeds. There are recognizable ...

$10.15

This opus by matt pond PA is the band's second for Polyvinyl Records. Entitled The Nature of Maps, it contains 12 songs and clocks in at about 38 minutes. Matt Pond has a recognizable voice, one that is no doubt capable of surviving, if not flourishing, on "alternative" radio. In many aspects, Pond and company aren't too far removed from the full sound of, say, Jackson Browne or modern-day comrades Koufax. Tunes like "Close Map" declare a liking for rich textures, filled with strings and jolly upbeats on guitar ...

Tim Eriksen CD (2001)

Measure music CDs

$11.99

After ten years or so of performing with Cordelia's Dad, Tim Eriksen has released his self-titled debut. The first thing an old fan will notice is the bareness of the arrangements, with Eriksen accompanying himself on guitar, fiddle, banjo, and guitar with no overdubs. Infused with old-time fiddle and vocals, songs like "Hick's Farewell" and "Garden Hymn" are well founded in traditional Appalachian folk. Eriksen's vocal and guitar work is mesmerizing on the nearly seven-minute "Brown Girl," a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and murder. Part of what makes this song, and others, like "I Wish the Wars Were All Over," so successful is the deliberate pacing. The interplay between guitar and voice creates a measured tension in the lyrics. All of the instrumental work is impressive. There's a great guitar workout on "Mobile Serenade Polka/Shep Jones Hornpipe," and the banjo is given its due on "Last Chance." Eriksen takes greater vocal risks, singing unaccompanied, on "Farewell to Old Bedford," "Hope," "Dress in Blue," and "Village Churchyard." The first three work well, and clock in at two minutes or less, a length that seems to work well with a cappella singing. "Village Churchyard," though, runs almost eight minutes, and represents the most daring vocal on the album. Some listeners may find his approach over-exuberant and overlong. While Eriksen is clearly digging deep into folk tradition on this album, he is also using his distinct approach to put his personal stamp on this music. This gives traditional-based tracks like the "Lass of Glenshee" and "Leave Your Light On" a contemporary edge. Tim Eriksen goes a step further than recent Cordelia's ...
