Ok, so we’re kind of late reporting this, but as my wife always tells me “better late than never”. As you may have already read elsewhere Los Angeles based quartet Abe Vigoda have just inked a deal with Bella Union Records. Whilst the labels current roster of bands focuses heavily on the new breed of Americana (see Fleet Foxes, The Acorn and Josh Tillman), Abe Vigoda sound is pitched as; part-punk, part-new wave, part-tropicala and is sure to take the label in a new direction.
Formed in 2004, Abe Vigoda’s sound has transpired into many different styles and shapes, leaving them with a unique take on punk and its various states of attitude. Having previously released several singles, two full lengths, cassettes, and more, their album – Skeleton captures the boys honing in on an amazing direction. There is a bit of dream-like ambience that seams through entire songs, a beat that drives the listener into their world, and vocals that are underneath the music as much as they are on top of it. Coming from the same team as The Smell, No Age and Mika Miko, Abe Vigoda keeps a DIY attitude.
Skeleton will be out on Bella Union Records on the 11th August 2008. In the meantime check them out here on their myspaz.
