New Artist: Mister Lies

By Sarah Jorgensen

I do not often find myself seriously attracted to electronic music – to me it seems to lack depth. Mister Lies’ tracks are the complete opposite. His tracks are simply sublime in their construction, yet perfectly subtle in the very best way through his use of haunting vocals and a wide range of other samples. This mysterious producer has released only a few choice tracks so far, including the EP False Astronomy (which can be found as a free download here) and the track “I Walk,” (a personal favorite of mine) which was just featured today on Pitchfork. This Chicago-based artist is seriously one to watch – I expect big things once he releases a full-length album. Stay updated on his every move by liking him on Facebook.
