Fusing melody and dissonance, ABRAMS blast forth a cathartic mix of catchy, driving rhythms, soaring vocals and ethereal ambiance. Wielding elements of heavy rock, shoegaze, grunge and post-metal with ease and fluency, they create a crystalline heaviness that's bittersweet and nostalgic yet also gazes forward.

The Denver band's arresting sound finds them sharing terrain with the likes of Torche and Cave-In, while their penchant for crunchy, irresistibly hooky riffs recalls alt-rock icons Hum and Quicksand. Even so, their swirling meld of influences isn't the totality of ABRAMS.

Blue City is where genre-defying heaviness and perfect melodic songcraft converge, a sojourn through lush, cinematic passages and contemplative psychedelia. Its lyrics describe a metaphorical prison, a cold but familiar place where fear of change and the impossibility of action lead to paradoxical, crushing comfort.

*Стиль: Shoegaze/Grunge/Stoner/Post-Metal

Шугейз есть только в последнем треке. Гранжа особо не замечено. В основе альтернативный прог\пост-метал с южатиной, пусть будет стонер. Напоминает одновременно The Ocean, Tool и Somali Yacht Club. Первые 4 трека и последний неплохие, но в целом несмотря на филигранную работу со звуком альбом не зацепил. P.S. релиз форматный.
