Primarily known as a bassist with groups like Grammy-nominated band Alvvays and surf pop band La Luz, Abbey Blackwell (Seattle, WA) is focusing her energies on writing for solo guitar and voice. Her songwriting calls back to the lyrical, hanging melodies of Sibylle Baier and Linda Perhacs, with angular, geometric chord progressions that lean in satisfying directions.
Under her name, she has released an EP "Other Lives" (2021) and most recently an LP on Ruination Records titled "My Maze" (2023), which ended up being one of Gorilla vs Bear’s top albums of 2023. Rendered through a self-assured and distinctive musical vocabulary, her songs offer an inspired and idiosyncratic take on “personal” songwriting, with insights into the central pressure points of human experience that run deeper than transparently confessional.
