Matt Pond Pa (commonly typeset as Matt Pond Pa, or mppa for short) is an indie band formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1998 by singer/songwriter Matt Pond. When the band originally formed in 1998, Matt Pond was accompanied by guitarist/bassist Josh Kramer, violinist Rosie McNamara-Jones, cellist Jim Hostetter, and drummer Sean Byrne (previously of Lenola and The Twin Atlas). Their debut Deer Apartments gained them recognition in CDNow's Unheard competition for unsigned artists that same year. Sophomore effort Measure followed in 2000, garnering comparisons to a stripped-down version of the Cure, and the I Thought You Were Sleeping EP appeared in spring 2001.
