I would like to recommend an album that I have spent many hours listening to the last weeks.

A while ago I pre-ordered The Abramson Singers‘ beautiful debut album from the label, and since it’s a digital-only release, I was allowed to download it at once. Just before the weekend it was officially released from the Canadian label White Whale Records, and if you like folky music with great vocals, you should get this. This is a really good indie-folk album, – lots of great songs and a wonderful atmosphere.

The Abramson Singers is in fact only Leah Abramson, and it all started when she as a member of Dyad developed tendonitis in her wrist three years ago. Unable to write songs on guitar, she borrowed an 8-track and started recording a cappella vocal pieces under the name The Abramson Singers. Now her wrist has healed and she has started playing guitar again, which we can hear on the album. The vocals on the album is sometimes layered in up to 8 part harmonies, and the opening track is an a cappella.

Here’s a track for you, “Fool’s Gold”:
