Co-produced with Austin Ward, WRABEL’s new album 'up above' began at his coffee table, where he considered recording himself for the first time. Pushing through the fact that he had never produced before, he discovered that his rudimentary beginnings mirrored many artists in the late 90s, who were experimenting themselves for the first time with new technology. He embraced the approach, bringing in mixer Damian Taylor (Bjork, UNKLE, Arcade Fire), who was the original force behind many of the inspirations from this period and helped thread the story. WRABEL's songs of hope and love are now wrapped up in a blanket of sounds from another era, while still having that pop touch that his prolific career is known for, including the songs he’s written for others (Louis the Child, Teddy Swims, Kesha, Celeste).
