When
did ABO go all heavy riffing, psychedelic out-wigging? It’s a bit of a way on from earlier Velvet Underground vibes, but assaults the senses nonetheless. Now on their fourth album, the single Two Doves on a Lake is anything but tranquil and lovely. It chugs along like a rock juggernaut, interspersed with some discordant solos; all topped off by singer/guitarist Sam Windett’s fragile vocals.With a trippy, yet seductive illustrated video by Stevie Gee, it’ll take you on a journey you won’t want to finish.
Two Doves on a Lake drops on Domino Records on Monday 8th December 2014.
