Absofacto – Backfire

An off shoot of Mason Proper, Absofacto consists of guitar player Jonathon Visger from Ann Arbor, MI. He describes his genre as experimental pop and I think he is right on the money. The song “Backfire” has all the makings of a pop friendly experiment gone right. Having been unofficially released on the 5 track EP Loners, “Backfire” is paired nicely with other blog friendly songs like “On a Ladder Leading Nowhere”. With no live shows and no upcoming releases in the near future, only a forthcoming collaboration lay in the works for Absofacto with Hollow & Akimbo in July. Still, we’ve got our fingers crossed for more to come from Absofacto. By Brian Litwin
