Mister Lies is a musical project started in 2012 by American electronic musician, record producer and multimedia artist[1] Nick Zanca.
[2] The project, named after a minor character in Tony Kushner's play Angels in America,[3] was established when Zanca moved to Illinois to attend school at Columbia College Chicago in pursuit of a playwriting degree[2] and started making music in his dorm room with Ableton.
The debut album was recorded at his parents' lake house in Ludlow, Vermont, and was inspired by the works of Rudyard Kipling.
[2] In May 2014, Zanca announced via his Twitter that Brooklyn-based label Orchid Tapes would release his second album, Shadow, later in the year.
[2] Zanca has cited Burial, Grouper, Portishead, Trent Reznor, Steve Reich and Oneohtrix Point Never as his musical influences.
