It's been a bit since we've brought you anything from Chainlacing, but as we play catch up, we came across a song we missed earlier this month. The New Hampshire band specializes in "lo fi experimental gloom," and that description certainly fits "Real Abstraction." The seven minute song is an absolute epic, awash with reverb and fuzz. It's like a dark version of shoegaze, but a little bit heavier. People talk about The Cure making depressing music, when it's really a band like Chainlacing. "Real Abstraction" is quite dark and not at all fitting with the festive season we're currently in. However, wait a few weeks until we're past the holiday season and are drenched in darkness and gloom for three to four months (at least) and "Real Abstraction" will be the perfect soundtrack. Although, despite the darkness of the song, there are moments of true beauty, as well.
You can listen to "Real Abstraction" below. For more on Chainlacing, check out the band on Instagram.
