Deer Apartments (1998) Measure (2000)

Deer Apartments is the first album by the American band Matt Pond PA, released in 1998. It won CDNow's Unheard? competition for unsigned artists that year. Soon after release, Deer Apartments largely remained out of print until 2024, when it was released on vinyl for the first time, with a run of 520 being produced.

Critical reception

The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed the album "a stunning singer-songwriter/chamber-rock debut." The Philadelphia Daily News considered it an "orchestrated and intellectual brand of pop." In 2004, The News Journal labeled it "a bouncy affair with pop guitars, electronic effects and Pond's just enough vocals that sometimes resembled Robert Smith."
