Lackthereof , the nom de solo project of
Danny Seim, came into existence in 1997, several years before
Seim became part of the eclectic, Portland-based indie trio
Menomena. Initially, the project embraced a spirit of electronica-tinged experimentalism, sounding something akin to the eccentric work of
John Maus;
Lackthereof's later work became more spare and folky, nodding to artists like
Bon Iver and
Bonnie "Prince" Billy. In the early days of the project,
Lackthereof's recordings were relegated to CD-Rs; six of these discs were recorded from the project's birth up until
Seim became engrossed with his work in
Menomena. A few years down the road,
Seim was picked up by FILMguerrero for his seventh
Lackthereof release,
Christian the Christian, which was released on that label in 2005.
Lackthereof's second full-length on FILMguerrero, My Haunted, was released in the spring of 2008. It was followed a few months later by another full-length,
Your Anchor, which was released on Barsuk Records. ~ TiVo Staff
