Rising Dutch band Abdomen dropped their second single from their forthcoming album Yes, I Don’t Know on 25 October via FatCat Records.
The band consists of drummer Roel Meijer, bassist Ate Kamsma and Peter van Beets on vocals and guitar. The prolific trio are based in Leeuwarden, Frisia, a region in the North of The Netherlands. As a recent signee to Brighton-based label FatCat Records, the band are conjuring rip tides with their fervent soundscape.
The album is set for release on 25 February 2025 with the title track, ‘Yes, I Don’t Know’ following the release of their enticing lead single ‘Dazed’. ‘Yes, I Don’t Know’ sees the band take a more experimental and mercurial approach compared to its predecessor. The single begins unassumingly with gentle guitar riffs swaddled in reverb. It then switches up into a cinematic spectacle with Peter’s piercing vocals and lyrics going for the jugular, outlining the indomitable pain of a lover’s passing. The track culminates to his chilling, painful howls of “I Can’t Turn Around”, and ends with the final words “You never came back”.
Drummer Roel Meijer shares: “The track is a reflection of what feels like to be caught in the midst of an insurmountable struggle, an overwhelming barrage of noise, confusion and tension, which seems to intensify as time goes on. It’s the longing for an endpoint, a journey to a place of calm, focus and normality”
