Abzorbr biography, Abzorbr discography
Up: Have you googled YtCracker yet?If Maneline left the crowd energized and lifted, the following act, Abzorbr, brought them crashing back down to earth.Paul Simon, Krane sampled his vocal accapellas and beats off the Djembe live from the stage, which, although great in theory, left most of the crowd in the crossed arms stance of bored impatience.Sector 7G faired somewhat better, although no group whose name references The Simpsons has the right to be so dour.Eyedea and Abilities took the stage, the packed house exploded.In the grand tradition of Eric B and Rakim or even Guru and Premier, Eyedea and Abilities are a classic twosome, where the DJ and MC share equal footing.DJ Vajra onstage for a scratch session.And it was nice meeting you last night.Hopefully they will recognize our work ethic for getting the word out and on stage...Comments may not show up immediately after submission.Please wait a minute after posting a comment for it to appear.All reader comments are subject to our

other.Chris came back to Casey with songs recorded.Brien (Drums and Laptop for Abzorbr) and they all liked each other.For starters, we blend the acoustic and the electronic, with a leaning towards improvisation and groove.Expressing through the use of vague compositional templates for guidance, while still remaining sensitive to the urgent needs of spontaneity, Abzorbr promises plasticity.The music is simple and if effective, puts you in a space to feel the subject matter.As time goes on, desensitization occurs and both sides believe that they now know one another inside and out, flaws now included.The lyrics point at a compromising resolution where both sides admit that they have taken each other for granted and agree to try to see each other with new eyes, just like they did when they first met.There are no comments yet...Sadat X, Twan "Now (feat.Twan)" (mp3) from "Generation X" (Affluent Entertainment Inc.Don't see your blog here?Tour at Xcel in Saint Paul12.Abzorbr :: Capable of Teetering :: Abzorbr.First there was Prince, who is an extremely capable musician, but certainly not your average chap.Paul, Minnesota, comes the group Abzorbr who gives us more of the same in bizarre fashion.The inkblot is a good representation of the abstractness and borderline craziness of Abzorbr.The group Abzorbr doesn't live by any conventions.The band consists of two brothers that handle the production and live instrumental aspects of the project, while the lead vocals and lyrics are headed by a man that goes by the stage name Kristoff Krane, real name Chris Keller.Beyond Abzorbr's first limited release EP, Krane has done some "improvisational work", also known as freestyling in the rap world, and this knowledge makes one believe that much of "Capable of Teetering" is more of the same.The lyrics are not completely disconnected from one another but sometimes it feels like you are hearing a ranting stream of consciousness.These are the best lyrics on the album because they relate to the feeling of inadequacy that everyone feels at some point in their lives.These are the moments when Abzorbr prevails, but when they mix it with the overdramatic, like "curling in a ball in front of the mirror" or the fanciful "puke on a rainbow turned upside down, froze in its cocoon," Abzorbr loses sight of relating to any audience.Even structurally, almost every song starts with the calm before the storm, the storm hits, then it's calm again, and it just gets tiresome.The lowlights of the album are "Thorn Picks Rose" which has a whiny chorus that sounds like a nursery rhyme or children's jump rope song and "1st Song Abzorbr Ever Recorded To Save Your Life," that bears an extremely generic house music beat, sloppy shuffling percussion, and 3 electronic keyboard keys repetitively stroked.After listening to "Capable of Teetering" it is hard to tell what Abzorbr is trying to promote with their music, according to them "Before making any possibly destructive connections with those who are, unfortunately, involved in the fascination of dehumanizing others.Abzorbr is currently affiliated with other artists who support movements rooted in empathy and will continue to reach out."This is elementally a paranoid statement about how corporations are bad and that Abzorbr is for good causes, though the music they play is constantly referring to sadness, alienation, and sometimes suicidal tendencies.Most prevalently, the album sets a mood of unrepressed and unrelenting neurotic anger that spills across its entirety.Sometimes when a group is so adamant about being abstract for the sake of the art it lacks sincerity.It's clear that Abzorbr at least believes in what they are saying and they are not simply relying on gimmicks to sell records, because I doubt they care.Abzorbr already has a large group of fans on the internet that enjoy the coffee shop revolutionary stuff that they are doing, so they don't need another critic's blessings.Originally

Rate this artist!Band
Functioning out of St.Paul Minnesota, Abzorbr, is another bind of subjects gasping for air, playing with angles and having conversations with empty space.Inspired by undefined motives, they view their exerted vision as a process, a flowing movement that will undoubtedly succeed in striking insulated nerves among required listeners, while at the same time of course, continuing to fuel their own human addictions to recognition and contradiction.Expressing through the use of vague compositional templates for guidance, while still remaining sensitive to the urgent needs of spontaneity, Abzorbr promises plasticity.Their sound is the experience of discomfort similar to that awkward feeling one gets when making eye to eye contact for too long with another being.Modestly approaching the stage as if there wasnt one, without leaving time for withdrawal between songs, Abzorbr holds hands and joins those who choose to become involved in a heightened experience where attachment to Self wears thin and all still breathing find safety in that common strand of unfamiliar awareness that is left to share.No outward audience participation is necessary for intensity to effectively occur during a live performance by Abzorbr and their listeners.Abzorbrs duty of sifting through judgmental wave lengths while searching for fellow seekers of honesty.
