If you're looking for a soft song with chill beats and just the right amount of experimental sounds mixed in, this is for you. There are some deep dark lyrics underlaid in the song... but the funky, slightly uplifting melody somehow pleasantly blends it all in, transforming it into a deceptively upbeat tune.
Jonathan Visger, the mastermind behind Absofacto, released this song in 2015... and we're all wondering why the hell it isn't more popular. Listen to more of his work here.
"For me, making "Dissolve" was about capturing a feeling. This certain feeling that is so impossible to pin down that I almost don't want to describe it in too much detail because I know I'll get it wrong. It's a blend of tragic, romantic, beautiful, all with a healthy dose of casual cruelty. "Doomed odyssey, all in the name of unrequited love" stuff. That's not quite it though; there I go, not getting it right. Told you I wouldn't."
