Abe Vigoda returns to the wild with an incredible gem named Reviver. The followup to 2008's CD/LP Skeleton, this new 5 song EP stakes claim in new, darker musical territory. Reviver slows the mood, crashing into and washing over your senses; it takes an undeniably more experimental direction, yet is oddly catchy in semblance.
AV spent the better part of 2008 touring the states opening for acts such as NO AGE and DIPLO, touring Europe, and embarking on their own world journeys. Reviver bleeds with that newfound experience and suggests stunning growth even after such a short period of time. The EP hints at the band's next move which must be somewhere between pop and grayer, uncharted territory only the boys themselves can foresee. Reviver is an act of destruction and recreation, beautifully executed, and it stands on its own as a road marker for AV's future sound.
