ABBEY
a musical story of hope, hopelessness, love, and loss
of faith, and faith destroyed
of hearts that give and hearts that take
a story of acceptance
our acceptance of the dark nature of humanity
complex, detailed, exciting, passionate, and insightful
As truly harrowing as the story of ABBEY becomes, unfolding across 30 songs, the production is so crisp, the playing and arrangements so clean and tasteful, the vocal harmonies superbly executed, especially those that counterpoint the lead lines in some of the songs, aurally ABBEY: Crack On The Street is quite the most extraordinary and fulfilling listening experience. It’s all there – a love story, a cautionary tale, an indictment on both the church and the illusion of drug culture, a Greek tragedy with the gods toying with their creations – us. Take the time to immerse yourself in all its surprising grandeur – you won’t be sorry.
