Abe Vigoda - Crush

Review by Adam Johns

While Abe Vigoda 2.0 are a group to be respected, I have a feeling, going forward, I’m going to spend a lot more time listening to Skeleton than I am to Crush.»

a surprising and monumental album from abe vigoda on bella union. those who clocked abe vigoda's transition from 2006's debut 'kid city' to 2008's startling tropical-punk 'skeleton' should know the la quartet aren't ones for repeating themselves. to skeleton's hot-hot-hot template, they now add glassy shards of cold wave pop, with synthesisers, sequencers and altogether broodier beats. from the pell-mell pop of 'sequins' to the new romantic crush of 'throwing shade' and the title track's my bloody valentine scree, 'crush' is a thermal column of vertiginous brilliance!
