Crossvalley by Abel&Cain

Being a musician is not always the result of one moment of decision. Mostly there is not even a moment when the question is raised whether to join the game or not. For some people the constant search of that melody that will set you free for a couple of seconds is the only therapy that actually works.

Chris and Marek, the two heads of the band, have known each other for almost 10 years. 10 years of a lot of different band combinations, line-ups, sounds and compromises between their day- and nighttime roles. Now they find themselves as settled in their musical vision as could be.

The Crossvalley EP sounds unburdenend and precise at the same time, carrying the idea of 90's britpop to present time. Abel&Cain dare to allow an absolute haughtiness of melody, embedded in harmonic arrangements and thematically lingering between the cliffs of deep despair and unshakeable hope. Sounds like a lot of pathos? Well, yes.
