Thanks to RSL for pointing out that Jonathan Visger of Mason Proper has recorded a debut solo record under the name Absofacto. So snag this free MP3, then slide over to his web site and download two more.

MP3: Absofacto – Gnat Years
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 their bedrooms with about half their normal allotment of instruments — it’s inventive, quirky and creative in the way that pop music unfortunately often isn’t.
