ANDERS PONDERS

Anders Ponders is the stage name for Anders Mattson, a Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist who is very insistent about his commonly mispronounced name. Similar in style to Andrew Bird and Final Fantasy, Anders writes songs on viola—as opposed to violin—with the aid of a loop pedal and embellished by sequencers, samples, guitar, and vocals. The aim is to heavily orchestrate lyrics about mythology, astrology and opera, to create music that has the ability to transport the listener.
