Alternative PressA gimmick-free indie-rock record that's both instantly gratifying and that seems destined to join the timeless-pop pantheon. [Dec 2005, p.202]
-
There's no real reason for them to tamper with a fine formula.
-
There aren't many bands around that manage to create music as good as this out of such familiar and somewhat obvious sources.
-
Pond's songs are the alt-rock equivalent of what used to be called New Yorker short stories: subtly realized domestic epiphanies often involving tame nature imagery.
-
At times perplexingly distant.
-
UrbA lush, relaxing listen. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.103]
-
So maybe Pond really is just another ordinary-guy exemplar of the ongoing post-Coldplay adult contemporarization of indie, as his ordinary arrangements and ordinarier songs would attest.
