The Green Fury

Release Date: January 22, 2002

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).

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.

Reviews

  • String arrangements volley back and forthagainst a steady rhythm section as well as the flavorful guitar work by Mr.Pond himself. The Green Fury is alengthy album that was well worth the wait.

    - GhettoBlaster

  • Atmospheric, acoustic and teeming with someof the loveliest orchestrations since NickDrake's Pink Moon, The Green Fury is a beautiful, upliftingcollection of music.

    - Shout NY

  • The album feels so brittle and frail, yetcomes across with strength and force.

    - Rockpile

  • The sort of record that lends itself toaccusations of being Baroque or grand in scope, but it is both of those thingstactfully and humbly.

    - All Music Guide

  • TheGreen Fury - a lushly orchestrated blend of slouchy indie-rock strumming,soaring string arrangements and endearingly off kilter vocals.

    - CMJ New Music Monthly

  • Some of the most lovely and inventiveindie-rock you'll hear this year.

    - Delusions of Adequacy

  • Pond's gorgeous compositions possess a kindof emotional authority that hasn't been seen since Jackson Browne's heyday...

    - Stereotype

  • Contemplative, gloomy, lyrically weighty andmusically lavish, yet he kneads these elements into a beautiful and genuinewhole.
