Originally from Philadelphia, Matt Pond PA now calls New York home (Matt Pond NY?), that is, when Pond and company aren’t making the rounds in a tour van. It’s hard to say if his latest, Last Light, is any better than its predecessors, since (much like John Vanderslice) Pond has a knack for churning out effortless pop albums on a yearly basis, all of which are pretty great.

He even likes to share the singing duties…
