Mister Lies
Mister Lies is the project of Chicago's Nick Zanca.
Mister Lies will release its debut LP this Fall on Lefse Records -- in the
meantime Zanca has released a collaborative EP with Different Sleep for the
Absent Fever label which is available today as a free download here. Mister Lies is also set to make its live debut
next month in LA.
"The music is not the truth." That's the mantra
you're greeted with when heading to theBandcamp page of Chicago-based
producer Mister Lies, who makes the kind of warm, 4 a.m. downtempo
electronic music that carries lineage in the work of Burialand Massive
Attack. So what is the truth? Mister Lies is 19-year old student Nick Zanca,
who's currently studying philosophy and dramatic writing at Chicago's Columbia
College.
He originally hails from the suburbs of New Canaan, Conn.,
where he'll be heading back this summer to work on his debut full-length, which
follows up this year's Hidden Neighbors EP and the new
collaborative Mass EP with fellow Chicago producerDifferent
Sleep. The Mister Lies LP should see release later this year via indie
upstartLefse (Neon Indian, Youth Lagoon, How to Dress
Well). Read on for our conversation with Zanca about how he got into
music, his punk-pop past, why he chose to temporarily work anonymously, and
where the name Mister Lies comes from.
