Abe Vigoda
Reviver

This record left our Business Lady feeling happy.

Reviver is the follow up to Abe Vigoda's first outing 'Skeleton' and introduces us lucky folks to five brand spanking new tracks. Abe Vigoda have developed their early post-punk material into something a little more inventive on Reviver, sidestepping the usual DIY post-punk/new wave influences and dipping a cautous toe into the murky world of psychedelic pop. It sounds like these new American punk rock bands have reintroduced themselves to the demon weed and are getting fully blissed out...... Musically this sounds a little like a slightly less intense version of the excellent Ponytail but with much more structured and direct lyrical approach. The five track EP also features a cover of Stevie Nicks 'Wild Heart' which sees the band at there most inventive. It's a cheeky little cover that comes across sounding a little like Interpol but with loads of plinky plonky guitar loops with added echoplex! Tightly rhythmic yet fully spaced out. Check this out if you are interested in the new talents emerging from the L.A. DIY music scene or the records of the awesome Bella Union label. Definitely worth a little look.

OVERVIEW: “Reviver” is the frenetic new release from Abe Vigoda - THE NEW LA PUNK SECRET WEAPON. This is what happens when musical influences are used in the right way to create something totally fresh and new. Part punk, part pop, part new wave, ABE VIGODA bring forth an entirely new sound that is both temptingly beautiful and melodically tropical.

“Reviver” captures the boys honing in on their amazing musical direction. There is a dream-like ambience that seams through entire songs, a beat that sucks the listener into their world, and vocals that are underneath the music as much as they are on top of it. Emerging from the same scene as THE SMELL champions NO AGE and MIKA MIKO, ABE VIGODA keep a DIY attitude. They play all over the place whenever they can, bringing a vibe of spontaneity that is all their own.

This brand new EP, builds on the success of their debut album SKELETON, championed by Plan B as one of the Albums of the Year.
