Effective period / Period of releases: 2023

Members: Matthew Pond

The artist formerly known as Matt Pond PA, now based in Kingston, New York, with his partner and wild dog Willa. At once clearly Pond’s work yet a huge leap forward in its measured songcraft, melodic immediacy, collaborative detail and wryly questioning lyrics. Pond-watchers might wonder why the name change. Recorded with close collaborators and friends over a period that saw Pond make vital adjustments to his life, The Natural Lines’ stealth emergence reflects his desire to set a fresh pace for himself and come from somewhere new, somewhere more open.
