The Music Ninja![[Exclusive] Absofacto – Lies](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4008440_lg.jpg)
Jonathan Visger , the sole and incredible talent behind Absofacto , does not just create sound. Absofacto creates experiences that extend beyond the electronic and into an uncautiously experimental world that is deeply rooted with genuine emotion. His latest release, 'Lies' is a beautiful, soft, borderline-playful-yet-dark delicacy of sparkly xylophone notes and longing vocals. While the instrumentation is electronic in nature, containing electric guitar riffs, keyboard and filtered groovy basslines, the entire process comes across very organic. Absofacto has the ability to induce emotion with his music in a way many fail, and quite truly that is what great [...]

While Jonathan Visger is known as a member of the group Mason Proper , the singer/songwriter also releases music under his solo project Absofacto . I believe the songs will instantly make your day better as each release consistently feature s Visger's ability to write and record pop music, and usually includes some insight as to the inspiration for each track. For Absofacto's latest release, "If You Want", Visger included a story about how his family used to watch the movie Harold and Maude and how [...]

Fall is one of those seasons when people chose to be outside. During this time, give me a park and a pair of headphones and I'll be utterly content with life. The big question is, what will satisfy our ears this Fall? Recently discovered through YAWN , Northpilot is another band from Chicago and they offer two melancholic songs with an ambitious disposition. These two songs are "Maps and Dragons" and "1000 Lives." Both tracks contain a little folk and a little experimental. I personally like how they incorporate the piano into their band. [...]

Jonathan Visger is a man with pop intelligence. As a singer in Mason Proper , he also writes beautifully constructed lyrics for his own band, Absofacto . Comparing people is never fair but after some research on Jonathan, I kept linking him to indie mastermind Jason Schwartzman and his band, Coconut Records . Maybe you can hear it too, his intonations? One of my lazy music confessions is downloading the monthly BIRP and that is how I discovered Absofacto. "Whose Side Are You On Anyway?" was first introduced to me last year. I quickly [...]

It's been since February and "Kiko (103 words)" that Absofacto released new music, so it was no stretch to assume the forthcoming work would another appreciable piece of work. Absofacto - "Feathers (Don't Change on Me)" Released three weeks ago, Absofacto coupled this along with another new one called "The Breath and the Bell" and 8 remastered ones to create Sinking Islands . As for most people, music on the troysnoise rotation is oft-times indicative of a certain mood, and amazingly Absofacto's [...]

Only this time, there's no remix to talk about, just a pretty stellar album of singles that he's recorded over the course of the year. Sinking Islands is a collection of his latest tracks, which are ordered according to when they were made. If you haven't heard Absofacto (aka Jonathan Visger) before this, just know that he's a pretty sensational one-man recording artist. When he's not the front [...]
