Voices
Second Nature Records
Formed in the wake of Small Brown Bike and the Casket
Lottery, Able Baker Fox have thrust onto the indie music
scene their debut full length album, Voices. Voices is a fantastic
blend of the melodic indie rock familiar to fans of The Casket
Lottery with the raw and aggressive punk rock sound of Small
Brown Bike’s early material. It also throws in some unfamiliar
aspects to those that know Abel Baker Fox's past bands.
The album’s second track, "Stuttering," is a perfect example of
the different styles of music ABF have brought to the table, the song starts out with a very
campy riff not un-like early Rush, before kicking into a strong, driving, and forthright indie rock song, blending three different vocal styles on top of melodic and mathy guitar lines, mixed with a booming bass and drum combo. While Voices may not make us forget about Small Brown Bike and the Casket Lottery, it is certainly great to see that musicians we love are still making killer rock records.
