Artist in Focus - Mason Proper, Michigan

Jonathan Visger, Brian Konicek, Zac Fineberg, Matt Thomson, and Garrett Jones together make up the band - Mason Proper.

They will be releasing their second album, "Olly Oxen Free," on September 23rd, 2008.

Biography: In 2008, Michigan's Mason Proper (named for an obscure phrase relating to Freemasonry) met with producer Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead). They rented a small, empty house for a month and recorded the album.

Jonathan Visger (lead singer) met up with Chris again at Carriage House Studios to mix what would become Olly Oxen Free (on the same console the Pixies' "Doolittle" was mixed on). “This album is born of the same internal madness as the first, only now the layers have been lifted. The core of our band is exposed, to be loved, hated, or ignored.” - says Visger.
