Matt Pond PA - The FreeEP


1. Hearts And Minds
2. Our Braided Lives
3. Five
4. One And Only
5. Imperfect
6. Three
7. First Light
8. Amazing Life
9. One


According to their new web-site, this new Ep was prospectively titled: The Dawn before the Dark Leaves or Water off a Black Dog’s Back or Amazing Life or Butterfly Mornings and Wildflower Afternoons or May we never go go mental, may we always stay stay gentle or The Fear of not Being Afraid or Erica Harris and her Ubiquitous Threads or The Warmth Within the Warren or Dreaming of Sleeping or Saying It to Keep It From Happening or This is not the Dark Leaves or Living for Liv Ullman or The Odds of a Sunrise or Whispering Pines or You’ll be the Rhythm and I’ll be the Beat and I’ll be the Rhythm and You’ll be the Beat or The Grass Harp or Goodbye Barcelona or Why is my copy of the Moviegoer Floating in a Puddle Beside the Car. As hysterically brilliant as all of these prospective titles were, in the end, they decided to go with simple and clever The Freeep. Get it? It’s an EP and it’s free. Hence, The Freeep. While I am sure they have never heard of these guys, and I am not trying to say that they didn’t create this title of their own thought, I feel it is my duty to point out that they weren’t the first band to come out with a Freeep. Back in 2006 Doug Castle vs. the Weather released a free EP that they too titled the Free-P. Different spelling but essentially the same name...www.ihopeyourearsbleed.com
