After spending several years in Chicago, Matthew Mercer recently moved to Portland, Oregon, where he creates music and works as a graphic designer. Having previously released 12" singles on Forte and Neutonmusic as well as affiliations with Ware and the now-defunct 409 art group, in 2006 he started a new project called Microfilm with vocalist Matt Keppel. In 2007, the two started a small label for their endeavours, Fiche Music; he released 2 short albums compiling both new and old solo material in the fall of 2007. He is also considering a digital re-issue of his first 12" for Forte, Secrets, long out of print.
