Thousand Peaces was Jonathan Visger's step up to the majors: the 2017 EP that marked his arrival at Atlantic Records under the Absofacto name, the alias he had used for his solo work ever since the 2009 EP Tagalong. Before all that, Visger fronted the Michigan indie rock band Mason Proper, and he also formed the electronic project Hollow & Akimbo with his childhood friend Brian Konicek.
The EP's secret weapon was a song that was already two years old. "Dissolve" first surfaced in 2015, found a home here, and went nowhere as a single in 2018. Then the internet did its thing: in 2019 a TikTok meme turned its fluttery electro-pop into a surprise hit, and by January 2020 it had climbed all the way to number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. Few slow burns have burned quite this slowly.
