Fred Abong: Homeless


Homeless is the debut solo EP from Fred Abong, bass player for influential indie band Throwing Muses and Grammy nominated alt-rock band Belly. Abong also has a PhD in Humanities, so one would expect something special from a solo release and something special is what one gets. With lyrical depth, imaginative musical arrangements and Abong's raw, stylish vocals. The album is beautifully produced with every nuanced aspect clearly present, enhancing the range of musical phrases and subtleties. One has to look at debut albums from Leonard Cohen and Connor Oberst to find the kind of lyrical accomplishment and vocal edge present on this release.
