Matt Pond PA, Laura Stevenson, Completions at BSP (November 20). Output Agency Ltd. presents Matt Pond PA and Laura Stevenson (full band), with special guest Completions. Matt Pond PA are a band that makes music for the joy of the art, heart that comes through in all ten studio albums to date. Their latest Album “The State of Gold’”is magic number ten, and it finds Matt Pond PA exploring wilder places, both musically and lyrically, than ever before. NPR’s First Listen called Matt Pond an “old-fashioned troubadour above all”, a title he embraces. Laura Stevenson struggles with the overwhelming notions of an infinite universe and the imminence of her own death. The repetition of these existential questions is the driving force behind Wheel, an album brimming with life and death in the desperate search for what keeps us turning in the face of doubt, an exercise in coming to terms with the overwhelming beauty that can be found in the lack of an answer. $15 in advance, $18 at the door. BSP Lounge, 323 Wall Street, Kingston. November 20, 8pm.
