Free Music Review: Indie rock machine music
Hit: 4 Stars
On first listen, never having heard MPPA before, this record sounded to me like middle-of-the road pop-rock with a well-kempt haircut and a nice sweater, with safe melodies and arrangements written by some computer program and a singer not trying to wake the neighbors, likely purchased by kids who think Jimmy Eat World is too anthemic and the Shins are a tad too weird.
But, weirdly enough, I liked it enough to come back to it a few times, and I've come to really appreciate MPPA's melodic sense, reminding me a bit of a slightly more fun Death cab for cutie. I really like the slightly gravelly quality of Pond's voice, but I wish he would show more dynamic range in his singing, song after song the intensity level never seems to vary. The band shows admirable restraint throughout, in keeping with this "chamber pop" moniker I've seen applied to them. They are the intelligent well-mannered 20-something at your dinner party who you hope is far more interesting than they're letting on.
If you're old enough to remember liking The Railway Children back in the '80s, you'll appreciate this.

I have all the matt pond pa albums but for some reason I bought this one just recently and it sucks. All his cds have at least 4 goodies but this one hasnt one. How can this be the work of the band that created the masterpiece Emblems. Oh well, maybe i can save someone else the time and money i waisted.Free Music Review: very cool and fun
