Recently Matt Pond PA has shared the official video for "The Full Stop" with New Noise Magazine. The video features Danielle Guldin and was directed by Jesse and Jamie Dufault. The track is from the band's new album Still Summer out now on Matt Pond's independent label 131 Records. About the video Matt Pond says:
Topless lip-syncing isn't an undertaking I ever thought I'd put on my resume.
But we wanted to convey a genuine sense of intimacy with this short musical film. So we tried to choreograph and communicate with honest, true exposure. (I sincerely felt exposed.)
In these instances, it's about belief. Belief in the lyrics, belief in love and belief in your costar.
Danielle Guldin came through. She was totally sincere. And for a few fleeting moments, we may have actually been in love. Jesse and Jamie Dufault shot the footage, with Chris Hansen flicking lights and flooding my bedroom with smoke. All of them shouting at me, all of them laughing at me. A classic in the long list of life's worthwhile humiliations.
Still Summer is available to order now on LP and CD at the band's online store.
Matt Pond PA's fall tour in support of the album recently kicked off.The tour will make stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and more. Matt Pond says:
"if anyone reading this has been hurt, disrupted or displaced by Harvey, you are welcome to be on the guest list for any of our Texas shows. (Please write a message to info@131records.com and we’ll make it so. You are most definitely on our minds as we hope for you all to persevere and eventually triumph.)"
Still Summer features the likes of Laura Stevenson, Laura Burhenn, Caroline Reese and Anya Marina. And of course there’s the copilots, Chris Hansen, Shawn Alpay, Mel Guerison and Kyle Kelly-Yahner, right there with him.
Along with Winter Lives, released in December 2016 by 131 Records, Still Summer will be the last album Pond releases as Matt Pond PA. Over time, a new track or take will be added to each — this is the never-ending conclusion of Matt Pond PA’s strange musical tour.
There will be more music. Yet the serious ones say summer only lasts so long. Soon there will be different titles, unfamiliar names, unforeseen sounds associated with Matt Pond. As if the beginning and the end were one and the same.
Additionally, Matt Pond PA has teamed up with Louisville's Against The Grain Brewery to create a Matt Pond Pale Ale which is available now. The single-hop pale ale is mild and very crisp with juicy tangerine, earthy floral aroma and character. Matt Pond Pale Ale pairs well with wings, pizza and Matt Pond PA. The band has shared a video that captures a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Matt Pond Pale Ale. The video is available to share via YouTube.
About the collaboration Against The Grain Brewery's Sam Cruz, Managing Member and Visionary says:
"I’ve been a fan of Matt Pond for years. I jumped at the opportunity to work with him. We were connected through a mutual friend and met up while he was in town visiting. After sharing a couple of beers and having a friendly race with the LMPD in our souped-up Mustang, (which we won), I knew we were kindred spirits! This collaboration embodies the respect I have for his music and the connection craft beer inherently has with music. Matt Pond Pale is a grassy summer pale ale brewed with his new album, Still Summer, in mind. We’re honored to work with him and excited to share it with the world
