As you may or may not know, Jonathan Visger of Mason Proper has a solo project name of Absofacto . Well, Visger has been working with experimental hip hop artists 10k Cities (which in turn is a collaboration between GT favs Pollination and zoomzip ). Do you remember zoomzip from this memetastic remix ? If not, you should. Anyway, Dovecote Records is releasing a limited edition split 73 from Absofacto and 10k Cities . It should ship somewhere around February 24th. Preorderers get an [...]
Helloooooooo VACAYERS, after a long (and brutal) hiatus from posting I'm finally back. In fact, it's been so long that most of you probably don't even know who I am so allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Tunnel and I like to rage; Stizzy is my brother and T3RR0R is my bitch (just kidding but I like giving him shit). My absence has been due to a number of things including college graduation, travels through Europe as well as Alaska and some seriously ragetastic VACAYING. Basically, I like to have fun... but enough about me and more about [...]
I'm loosing it! My musical taste is sliding down the hill of rough, hard and powerful into the slow and soporific. It aint all bad, we've got some killer DJ's down here, The Swiss, Sébastien Tellier, Aeroplane (for the sake of my argument lets ignore the new Aeroplane ...), Breakbot, Röyksopp ... I find myself fighting it, and [...]

You can download the track for free , along with his remix of Ra Ra Riot 's 'Each Year', his awesome LCD Soundsystem/Kanye mashup of 'Love Lockdown/Get Innocuous' and a cover of the Mamas and the Papas 'California Dreaming'.

In regards to the latest Absofacto track "Nobody on the Subway," Jonathan Visger said: I've been focusing really hard on the Mason Proper album, but I gave myself a couple days to get an Absofacto song done because I'd be really depressed if I missed a month. Normally I spend about ten to fifteen days on each one, but this time I had to go through the writing, recording, and mixing process in three. I started recording before I had any idea what it was going to be. I just flipped out [...]

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 [...]
Train: Sweet hat Axel... Axel: Well, I thought I'd get in the holiday spirit and share some of my favorite covers that we posted in 2009 with everyone.

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 [...]
Jon Visger, the lead singer of the criminally underrated Mason Proper , has launched a new (or maybe more accurately renamed) solo project , formerly called Bug Lung Baby , now called Absofacto . He says the new 4-song EP is made up of four songs from the past 5 years that just wouldn't die. The EP is called Tagalong and you can get an immediate download [...]

Don Henley - My Thanksgiving Adam Sandler - Thanksgiving Song Mason Proper - Life's Cornucopia
Alarmingly brilliant. You might not see or expect it in this group of four rather regular-looking guys from the Great Lakes State, but Michigan's Mason Proper , led by the ingenious Jonathan Visger , creates an endless geometric array of patterns and textures that flow with fascinating angularity over a limestone groove riverbed. The band's boggling resourcefulness with the regular suspects (drums, guitar, bass, keys, sampler, voice) propels them beyond the box of 'experimental indie pop' into far outer atmospheric strata of synesthetic adventure. Perplexed, I listen regularly to Mason Proper's tunes from this [...]
Once again it's time to look back into the past. This mix starts with two covers and it even has a remix of a Passion Pit song. Luckily, the remix is by Pollination .
