New York-based producer, composer and sound artist Nick Zanca has been releasing music under the name Mister Lies since 2012. The project began in a Chicago dorm room with the release of a four-track EP, Hidden Neighbors – over the years, his sounds have inhabited a specific intersection between intimacy and atmosphere through a maximalist mosaic of field recordings, sample-based textures, glitchy soundscapes and nocturnal pop songs.
After a five-year personal hiatus during which he co-founded the post-pop band <a href="spotify:artist:0SaiS5YwgvjmUsq9FgvRla" data-name="Quiet Friend">Quiet Friend</a>, Zanca returns to his solo project’s roots with a home-recorded, self-titled and self-released third LP. Realized over the course of a year and explicitly designed as a start-to-finish listen, <a href="spotify:album:48mj5S5HsqwV6AP5JJM9S8" data-name="Mister Lies">Mister Lies</a> is a study of capturing the present and a celebration of the art of recording itself. Field recordings and found sounds are intertwined with electroacoustic improvisations and lyrics lifted from journal entries to form a half-hour genre-agnostic montage of memory. Bells sound, birds gossip, trains pass and boats rev their engines – this is kinetic, fluid music that promotes deep listening and headphone time travel.
