Brand New Abyss

Brand New Abyss – płyta napisana i wyprodukowana w całości przez Melissa Dyne i Khaela Maricich czyli zespół The Blow.

Brzmieniowe połączenie modułowych syntezatorów, starych samplerów z nowym nurtem punkowgo buntu.

The Blow is an electro-pop-punk and alternative performance art duo originating out of Washington and now based in Brooklyn, New York. Khaela Maricich started The Blow in 2003 and would be joined by Melissa Dyne in 2007 after Khaela worked with Jona Bechtolt of Yacht from 2004 to 2007. In 2013, The Blow dropped a reinventive self-titled album, and now, four years later, The Blow release a companion album to The Blow titled, Brand New Abyss. On this new album, The Blow continue to push a new sound and deliver a concentrated, abyss-like sound project, often with a minimal and hypnotic atmosphere composed of experimental analog synthesizers as well as excellent lyrics, vocals, and overall songwriting.

Brand New Abyss is concentrated and focused thanks to crisp, detailed production and hard-thought songwriting. Even with the shared experience between Maricich and Dyne, Brand New Abyss truly feels like a “brand new abyss”. Unless you’re already familiar with the alternative electronic style of The Blow, you’re likely to fall into their blissful and hypnotic abyss of a soundscape. 808 drum production plays a significant role in the overall sound, like the textural 808 bumps on “Dark Cold Magic”, or the heavy 808s that lie beneath high-pitched, soaring synths and sweet lyrics on the song “So There”.
