The Pennsylvania-based sextet will release The Dark Leaves, its first album in three years, this April, marking another phase in an already-impressive career. The group has released its first single, "
Why isn't it warm yet? It bright and sunny out here in Atlanta, but it's still frickin' cold! Enough already, give me some top-down, sun-in-your-face, warm weather already.

Matt Pond PA is a band that we've been following for years now so they were an easy choice for us to spotlight on our SXSW watchlist. Matt Pond PA have been around for a loooooong time and they seem to be that band always coming in just a bit under the radar. You won't hear these guys on the radio nor will you read much about them on P4K or The Gum. Regardless, we've always found the songs of Matt Pond PA a soothing mixture of slow pop jams that best fit in with a good [...]

I've always been impressed with Matt Pond PA , from the standout track of theirs ("Brooklyn Stars") I first included on my NYC Mix in 2007 (the band now lives in Brooklyn, via Philly) to the wintry soundtrack he brought us last year. This new album is no exception. I am making a pit stop at home on this snowy Friday evening before I head up to Denver for the Justin Townes Earle/Joe Pug show , drinking a beer in my kitchen and playing this loud on [...]

And so we've ended yet another insanely busy week. (Thanks, Bonnaroo!) Of course, we like it that way because we work and you learn.

May we present you with this week's mix of the best new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out.

Okay. Are you PSYCHED for the WEEKEND?! Snow days, Valentine's Day, President's Day... heck, just any old Friday is cause for celebration. For awesome music. Free music.

Seriously, we're calling these 100 percent free and legal tunes because they're sent to us by record labels and bands themselves with the [...]
