Description
Recent FatCat signings, Abdomen, are a Netherlands power trio, sometimes described in the Dutch press as post-grunge garage. The name Abdomen reflects the directness of their approach and attack – a gut feeling. They worked with Rasmus Bredvig (Tapetown, Aarhus, DK) on their new, sophomore long-player. Yes, I Dont Know opens with fragile, picking, floating in reverb. For a second fooling you into thinking that youre listening to a Robin Guthrie / Cocteau Twins tune, before serrated, cyclical slashing serenades, with Peter Van Beets words concerned with the awful crushing, gaping hole, of a lovers passing. Peters lyrics can sometimes be extremely personal, but the band are at pains to point out that its the listeners interpretation thats all important. In the past Abdomen have been called angry, however, if the album has an overriding message or theme, then its about coming to terms with your emotions, cauterising wounds, growing, and moving on.
