K Anderson comes from the too-much-information school of songwriting. Frank and forthright, his songs are like conversations with an old friend. Comparisons can be made with John Grant, Ani DiFranco and Jens Lekman, all known for their deeply personal and unflinching songwriting, but K Anderson’s shrewd, world-weary tone sets him apart.
Slightly different from your standard boy-with-guitar, K playfully leaps between heart-felt, introspective lamentations to bombastic meanderings on life. On the release of his debut album, The Overthinker, The Line Of Best Fit stated “the quality here is extraordinary – the songs are combustible, ranging from soulfully passionate to engagingly self-conscious’, and Music OMH called it ‘a sincere offering of smartly penned, organic sounding pop’.
Born in Scotland, raised in Australia, and now based in London, K is an artist not afraid to be uncool. In fact, he seems to wear his quirks and social-awkwardness proudly on his sleeve. On the song ‘Everybody’s Moving to Berlin’, K proclaims ‘I’m risk averse and comfortable’.
K Anderson is busy building a world of stories and visuals to accompany future singles. Each release will be partnered with a zine that explores the themes of the corresponding song. The first single to be released as part of the campaign is ’14 Year Old Me’, a theremin-assisted acoustic number that looks back on the promises he made, and didn’t quite manage to keep, to himself when he was younger.
