Abe Vigoda – Reviver
March 18th, 2009 Posted in Album reviews
Reviver is the new EP from this L.A.-based band in which they take their sound into slower and more dissonant territory than their propulsive, “tropical punk” debut, Skeleton: unfortunately Skeleton wasn’t shockingly unique enough to separate it from the countless other bands attaching new adjectives to the word “punk” these days and this release doesn’t really help – the songs are passable but one hopes that Abe Vigoda manages to produce something more impressive on their next album.
