The baleful New York City-based indie-pop band Matt Pond PA left their urban comfort zone to record their latest album, Dark Leaves, in rural Bearsville, N.Y. The result is a more rustic album from the group, one that supplements the band’s trademark cello with steel guitar. Tonight the band plays a 9 p.m. show at Mad Planet with opener Bobby Long, a singer-songwriter who came to attention for his contribution to the Twilight soundtrack. He’ll release his full-length debut this summer. Click here to read the Shepherd’s feature on Matt Pond PA.
