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).
