Abu Nein – Dark Faith (Digital/CD/Vinyl Album – Progress Productions)
This year, Swedish outfit Abu Nein unveiled their third opus, further solidifying their distinctive place in the modern Electronic music scene. While firmly rooted in Electro-Pop, their sound transcends the genre’s boundaries. The tracks exude an ethereal, almost weightless quality, paired with a minimalistic strangeness that evokes subtle echoes of Kirlian Camera in certain moments. Erica Li Lundqvist’s charismatic and evocative voice takes center stage, leaving a lasting impression and adding a deeply personal stamp to the production. The album culminates in a Cinematic finale, reinforcing its unique and unconventional nature. Each song unfolds gradually, featuring remarkable sound design and meticulous production that make for a thoroughly captivating listen. (Rating:7½).

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
