The stormy depths of Abigail’s December 2024 EP, "Bad Mind", await listeners visiting them in "Falling Under", their new single that is raw and resonant. The track serves as a darkly poetic salute to the havoc of manipulation, all within a post-grunge wrapper that does not pull its punches.
Right from the first note, Abby’s elfin crooning here erects an almost ghostly hush before the emotional unraveling starts. Her voice, both ragged and vulnerable, leads the listener through verses that sound like whispered confessions, followed by choruses that thrash with cathartic power. Each melody is a taut string, vibrating with the pressure of a toxic bond devolving.
Falling Under is a passive one. The instrumentation captures that raw energy of the grunge era yet is able to infuse it with enough modernity that it feels familiar and fresh at the same time. Whirling guitars collide with booming drums to forge, beneath it, a sonic tapestry as fraught as the relationship it’s depicting. It’s the sort of runner that pulls you up by the collar and has you gasping for life by the last note.
Awaiting Abigail has created a single that not only feels personal to them, but something that everyone can connect with. "Falling Under" is for anyone who’s ever experienced the push and pull of a toxic bond, and it’s executed with a raw honesty that only this band can serve.
With this stunning lead single, "Bad Mind" comes across as an EP that digs deep, exposing the emotions we’ve all tried to bury. Awaiting Abigail are writing soundtracks to the messiest parts of life.
