On your best behavior. On your last of nerves. Down to your last paper, you get what you deserve. Tell me, is this still high enough? Within your indecision, see nothing’s turned to dust. Show a little backbone. This ribbon is barely cut. You must trust yourself before they can trust you.

New York-based producer, composer and sound artist Nick Zanca has been releasing music under the name Mister Lies since 2012. The project began in a Chicago dorm room with the release of a four-track EP, Hidden Neighbors – over the years, his music has inhabited a specific intersection between intimacy and atmosphere in a maximalist mosaic of field recordings, sample-based textures, glitchy synthetic soundscapes and nocturnal pop songs. Zanca currently lives in Queens and is a founding member of the band Quiet Friend.
