Absofacto is a solo project by musician Jonathan Visger, the former frontman 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, which Visger has used for all his solo musical projects since.

In 2013, Visger and his Michigan childhood friend Brian Konicek, formed the electronic indie project Hollow & Akimbo. The duo released their first single, Pseudoscience, in October 2013, followed by Singularity in January 2014. In February 2014, they released their self-titled EP, Hollow & Akimbo, through Quite Scientific Records. \n

Visger continued to release music as Absofacto, gaining wider recognition in 2015 with the release of Dissolve. The song gained viral popularity on TikTok in 2019, leading to its chart success and his signing with Atlantic Records. He later released singles such as Lemon Drop and Rewind, further establishing his presence in the indie and electronic pop music scenes.\n

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 TikTok and became a surprise hit. It debuted on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in June 2019 and reached number one on the chart in January 2020.\n
