Soloists in music are rare, so rare in fact that albums by a soloist can take years to self-produce, and a one-person unilateral process can come with it’s own series of setbacks and limitations. A soloist is not a band, and therefore they possess all creative control, all the attention is on them, and they only really require a band when playing live. Every now and again, a single member of a band will have the expansive imagination, talent and ambition to simply try something by themselves and succeed. Enter Absofacto, otherwise known as Jonathan Visger from the band Mason Proper. It’s a series of short surrealist and experimental projects which didn’t have a full-length album release until 2011. The music is a mishmash of experimental art rock and electronic, and despite never being heard of by the vast majority of people out there, some of the tunes that have been released are quite good! This is Synthesocietal from the album Sinking Islands, their one and only market release that hasn’t been in EP format. This act has a small but passionate fanbase and y’know, I don’t really have that much else to say as far as history goes. The history of this act is limited and never really made it BIG, partially because solo projects are difficult to put together. All the work is on one person’s back and you’ve got no one but short-term collaborators to bounce ideas off of. Solo artists are often top-level talent because they’ve had to do everything on their own; create the compositions, write the lyrics AND play the music. While soloists like Justin Timberlake, Sting and Jack White are all immensely famous, Absofacto isn’t. Smash play and enjoy some indie bedroom pop of the highest caliber, it’s rare, it’s cool and it’s something you ain’t ever heard before.
