Don't be scared by the gruesome name or the hatchet-motif cover art. Matt Pond PA's [1] new song, "If You Want Blood," is an energetic Summer anthem, heavily infused with orchestral strings, punchy tambourines, and swerving guitars.

Fans of Andrew Bird [1] and The Shins [1] should definitely give a listen to this roadtrip-worthy track, which will appear on the band's upcoming EP of the same name [2]. Here's hoping the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Philly group's long-awaited sixth album follows soon. If you like this track, you should also check out "Magic Boyfriend" on the band's MySpace page [3].
