Sungod Abscondo
Meaningful music ignites the secret universes that exist inside you but have been kept hidden in the dark. A song can be a spark of inspiration that flies from some mysterious place within an artist directly to that same place in you.
"Imperfect People" is the debut album from Sungod Abscondo. Despite the fact that the band has never toured, our tracks are being played on dozens of non-commercial radio stations across North America (including KAOS, KJHK, WXOU, WPKN, and KCWR).
We've decided that we don't want money to be the barrier that prevents you from enjoying our music. So we're making available for free all of the tracks from "Imperfect People". You have our permission to share our music and do anything you want with it (use in films, compilations, etc.).

The duo Sungod Abscondo is C. Mark Manney (Abscondo) and K. Macke. We are two Americans who currently call Slovakia home. Here we have found freedom to live and create.
The two of us met in 2005 over a beer in Presov, Slovakia, and soon began weekly acoustic jam sessions. Our only ambition has been to keep it fun and create music we both love. By January 2007, it was becoming clear that we had a strong album in us and set out to record "Imperfect People" during that Spring. Everything you hear on this indie album was written, performed, recorded, and mixed by the two of us, with whatever instruments we could find, around a kitchen table in Eastern Slovakia.
