Absent I is a five-piece acoustic/electronic group from Minneapolis, MN. Launched in early 2006, Absent I has built a respectable, attentive, and growing fan base throughout the Midwest and beyond in a short period of time.

With the help of the Somnio Artist Group, Absent I released a 4-song demo recording in mid-2006. In the first four months that these four songs have been available, Absent I has had 16,000+ plays on MySpace and sold several hundred CDs at performances and online. The music of Absent I is influenced by artists such as Portishead, Bjork, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, and A Perfect Circle, and has modern day similarities to Zero 7, Halloween Alaska, Imogen Heap, and Peeping Tom. The Duluth News Tribune recently referred to Absent I as "Indie rock with a new age twist."

With countless performances under its belt including tours out to the west coast and around the midwest, Absent I continues to grow and flourish while performing at high-profile Minneapolis venues such as First-Avenue Mainroom and the Fineline Music Café. While currently recording their debut album due out later this fall/winter produced by 2001 Grammy Award Winner Steve Hodge, Absent I is touring the Midwest between studio sessions spreading awareness of the project.
