Absofacto is a solo project by musician Jonathan Visger, a member of Michigan-based indie rock band
Mason Proper.
In 2008, Visger released his first solo efforts, ''North South, Pt. 1'', under his own name, and ''Trilobite Trash'', under the pseudonym Bug Lung Baby. In 2009, the EP ''Tagalong'' was released under the moniker Absofacto, the name Visger has used for all his solo musical projects since.
In 2017, Visger (as Absofacto) signed with
Atlantic Records and released his major-label debut with the EP ''Thousand Peaces''. The song "Dissolve", originally released in 2015, was included as a track on the EP and released as a single in 2018, but it failed to make any kind of impact.
A year later, the song received renewed interest due to a meme on the video-sharing application
