![[Chill Remix] Ra Ra Riot – Each Year (Absofacto)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2544020_lg.jpg)
Experimental popster Absofacto (Jonathan Visger from Mason Proper) reimagined and remixed the beloved Syracuse band Ra Ra Riot 's "Each Year" in a very different way. The bouncy disco beat of the original has been replaced by a swinging half-time feel, and the jittery wall of sound has been chopped and edited down to create an airy, slinky groove. - rcrdlbl.com Ra Ra Riot - Each Year (Absofacto Remix) Download audio file (Absofacto - Ra Ra Riot - Each Year (Absofacto Remix).mp3)
Over a year ago I posted about Bug Lung Baby a side project of Jonathan Visger, the frontman of Mason Proper. Well unbeknownst to me Visger has continued this project, but with a new name... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Absofacto - Gnat Years " Jonathan Visger of Mason Proper has recorded a debut solo record under the name Absofacto. I don't know if Jonathan put all the Absofacto record together by himself, but it definitely has the feel of a work that was crafted by one free hand rather than many. "Gnat Years" and a couple other tracks on his Myspace feel like if you'd asked the Starlight Mints or Menomena to record a record in [...]

Check out the latest track released from Absofacto. I really dug his last single "No Power" and this track also proves to be quite enjoyable with its shuffling drums and wandering guitars + vocals. ::Lyrics: i can hear you straight through the wall, the breath and the bell. your sigh shook my fragile frame like a sub bass boom. even now I store what comes through deep in my shoulderblades.

I recently had the chance to catch up with the Michigan Native and Mason Proper front man Jonathan Visger about his Tagalong EP under his new solo moniker "Absofacto" and other happenings in his realm. Why the name change from Bug Lung Baby to Absofacto and what does Absofacto mean? A few people independently told me it would come out "Bung Lung Baby" when they said it quickly, haha. I soured on it myself after a while and decided to go with the other name I was kicking around at the [...]
Before a couple weeks ago, I had never heard of Jon Visger, his main project Mason Proper, or his side project Absofacto. This all changed when I stumbled around the interweb and found the track "No Power" from Absofacto . I'm not quite sure what it was about the track but the mellow guitar and the shuffle of the drums really grabbed my attention and I thought I should take a stab at listening to some Mason Proper. I am quite pleased to say that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their debut album There is a Moth in [...]
Boasting echo-laden singing with occasional harmonies in the vein of Grizzly Bear , a Daniel Howie -style vocal overdrive in the chorus, and a "The Funeral" -esque guitar line that crescendos into the chorus and diminishes for the verses, today's Song of the Day comes from a solo side project of Jonathan Visger of the My Old Kentucky Blog darlings, Mason Proper . According to Visger's Twitter , this track was something he " spontaneously decided to quietly release," which is a good [...]
Jonathan Visger of Mason Proper has again returned under another moniker, "Absofacto", with a collection of old songs that clung on to dear life and were eventually completed. The collection features the quirky melodies and rhythmic crunch that we've come to expect from Visger. Be on the lookout for some bird calls and hallway bullies. Also, there's a new video by Adam Netsky for Absofacto's song "Paper Crane". It's green-screen-alicious. If that's not enough for you, Absofacto released another new song not too long ago that you can listen to here . in fact all [...]
