Still Summer, is Matt Pond PA's twelfth full-length album and the second Pond is releasing under his independent label, 131 Records. On this album Pond features the likes of Laura Stevenson, Laura Burhenn, Caroline Reese and Anya Marina. And of course there’s the copilots, Chris Hansen, Shawn Alpay, Mel Guerison and Kyle Kelly-Yahner, right there with him...

The LP contains 14 songs (42 min, 19 sec) with highlights being 'The Ballad of Laura and Mike' (feat. Laura Stevenson); 'Still Summer'; 'Canada' (feat. Mel Guérison) - my personal favourite; and 'Union Square'.

It's a lovingly laid back indie rock album which gets better the more times you play it I've been listening to this as the summer blooms slowly give way to the golden red leaves on the trees and it's helping to keep the last moments of the summer alive.
