Abner Trio – “You’re Gorgeous, Believe It!”

The opener from Abner Trio’s new record The Giant Crushes You [available now on Joyful Noise] immediately sucks you in with its mathy instrumentation. Though it will recall Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi and Shellac, Abner Trio is onto something more anthemic. I hate to drop this comparison, but the chorus keeps making me think of Weezer. Sorry guys. You’re better than that lazy comparison, but I just can’t avoid it.

Abner Trio’s sophomore effort is a bold statement that would be welcome listening for anyone who misses when indie rock was less predictable and guitars carried a punch.
