Matt Pond and Chris Hansen (Matt Pond PA, The Natural Lines)

Matt Pond PA’s Still Summer is their twelfth full-length album and the second Pond released under his dependent label, 131 Records. “It’s not about reliving the past,” says Pond. “It’s about allowing the present to breathe. It’s about holding hands with ghosts and then letting go.”

A companion piece toWinter 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.

Matt Pond PA have created songs with a plethora of fellow indie rockers including Steady Holiday and Laura Bernhenn (The Mynabirds). This sampler contains tracks from Still Summer, Winter Lives, More Winter Lives, The State of Gold, and the other various EPs and singles Matt Pond PA have released over the past six years.

Superior Music Publishing represents the full catalogue from 2014 onward for both Matt Pond and Chris Hansen worldwide.
