:: Release Notes:
::
:: The abNER-TrioÆs new album puts the æNERTÆ back in the grim
:: iNERTia of our collective doom!
::
:: The Abner Trio is composed of some of the most formidable
:: talent in the geographical region, and its sound is a
:: surprising recombinant mutation of their respective
:: abilities. Which is to say, itÆs like nothing any of them
:: have done before. ItÆs more like something theyÆre doing
:: NOW. The group is comprised of Clinton Hughey, the
:: melodic-indiedream-rock guitarist of Manners For Husbands,
:: Karl Hofstetter, the deafening and horrifying drummer of Melk
:: the G6-49, and scarecrow-skinny old-testament prophet Daniel
:: Paquette on bass.
::
:: ClintonÆs hypnopompic melodies, PaquetteÆs clairvoyant
:: lyrics, and HofstetterÆs idiot-savant drumming all add up to
:: grind-folk/sleep-soaked/mystic-schizophrenic-post-monastic-tr
:: ance-rock album of the year. The first cut, ôOneö, sounds
:: like a proto-punk psychedelic experiment revolving around a
:: spoken word monologue. PaquetteÆs lyrics have a childish
:: intelligence, a juvenile sensitivity to the perilous
:: exigencies of the human conditions. And theyÆre also very
:: fun-fun and happy-happy. The drums follow an unconscious
:: geometry squeezed into a hopscotch sidewalk-chalk pattern of
:: time-signatures and scene-changes. The guitar sounds like a
:: Situationist analysis of poÆwhite-trash/hobo-chic.
::
:: The whole album is kind of a hybrid wedding of down-home
:: bluesy strumming, and hyper-conceptual French postmodernism.
:: This will all make sense when you hear it, I promise.
::
::
:: Reviews:
:: "Comprised of some talented folks whose other projects
:: include Melk the G6-49 and Manners for Husbands, The Abner
:: Trio transposes quick frenetic indie rock tunes. Lyrically
:: itÆs psychedelic and mortifyingly bizarre. The backing music
:: is compositionally solid but never holds anything concrete
:: for more than these fellas attention deficits will allow. IÆm
:: a big fan of time signature changing post-rock indie
:: weirdness and these guys deliver the goods with the biggest
:: bow tie and odd wrapping that IÆve ever had the pleasure of
:: witnessing."
