The Green Fury is matt pond PA's second release on
Polyvinyl (the band's first is this album's precursor, a fantastic four-song 7"
appropriately titled This Is Not The
Green Fury). However, The Green Fury is actually their third album. Although their name can be misleading, matt pond PA is indeed a band, and not
a single person. The Green Fury's
ambitious thirteen songs were recorded and engineered at Brian McTear's
minerstreet/cyclesound studios in Philadelphia.
Much of the arrangement and writing was done in the studio as a collaborative
effort between Matt Pond and Brian McTear.

"Atmospheric, acoustic and teeming with some of the loveliest orchestrations since Nick Drake's Pink Moon, The Green Fury is a beautiful, uplifting collection of music." Shout NY
|
|
"The Green Fury - a lushly orchestrated blend of slouchy indie-rock strumming, soaring string arrangements and endearingly off kilter vocals." CMJ New Music Monthly
|
|
"Pond's gorgeous compositions possess a kind of emotional authority that hasn't been seen since Jackson Browne's heyday..." Stereotype
|
|
"String arrangements volley back and forth against a steady rhythm section as well as the flavorful guitar work by Mr. Pond himself. The Green Fury is a lengthy album that was well worth the wait." GhettoBlaster
|
|
"Some of the most lovely and inventive indie-rock you'll hear this year." Delusions of Adequacy
|
|
"The sort of record that lends itself to accusations of being Baroque or grand in scope, but it is both of those things tactfully and humbly." All Music Guide
|
|
"Contemplative, gloomy, lyrically weighty and musically lavish, yet he kneads these elements into a beautiful and genuine whole." CMJ
|
|
"The album feels so brittle and frail, yet comes across with strength and force." Rockpile
