The Abigails play debauched outlaw country music born of a satanical wanderlust. Deep-voiced, leather-jacket-wearing frontman Warren Thomas sings songs about love and despair—typical for the genre—but he sings them with a darkly demonic deadpan, elevating them to a glorious and almost gothic doom. The band might also be best described by a line they wrote themselves: “There’s a hootenanny in Bummerville, and we’re leavin’ with the Fear.” Sometimes listening to the darkness makes you feel lighter.
