city: BrightonHideous Mink Records is proud to announce the debut solo album from Sam Abbo, Add To The Noise, set for release on August 1st. Known for his role as the bassist in the jazz-punk powerhouse Opus Kink, Abbo ventures into new musical territories with this raucous and poignant honky-tonk experience.
Add To The Noise is a bold departure from Abbo's work with Opus Kink, featuring a collection of tracks that blend gritty storytelling with foot-stomping sing-along choruses. The album dives deep into themes of love, death, and the end of the world, all wrapped in a sound that is as much a reflection of Abbo's roots as it is a leap into new sonic realms.
The album has been preceded by the release of four powerful singles: ‘Doomsday’, ‘Pass The Fiddle To The Beast’, "Burn It To The Ground’ and ‘Dig It Up’. Each single has showcased Abbo's lyrical prowess and unique ability to merge genres, setting the stage for an album that promises to be both raw and refined.
With Add To The Noise, listeners can expect an album that is as eclectic as it is cohesive. From the infectious energy of "Pass The Fiddle To The Beast" to the introspective musings in "Doomsday," Abbo crafts a narrative that is both personal and universally relatable. The album's honky-tonk vibe is punctuated by poignant lyrics and powerful instrumentation, making it a must-listen for fans of both indie rock and alternative country.
Add To The Noise will be available for streaming and purchase on all major platforms starting August 1st. To celebrate the release, Sam Abbo will embark on a series of intimate live performances, bringing his new music to audiences in select cities.
