CABINS

"Dark," "melodic," "spiky," "atmospheric". All of them overused words in the futile - but noble - pursuit of describing sound. Still, they all seem oddly appropriate when trying to get a handle on what Cabins are. With a sound that is already uniquely their own, they sift through rubble in the musical junkyard, pulling out shards of glass and little treasures and make them into songs. Pounding bass lines and drums intersect with woozy pianos and spiky guitars to carry epic tales of foreboding and unease up a strangely melodic path leading to new discoveries. Cabins aren't part of any pack, not through design or stubbornness, but due to the happy accident that this is how the songs arrive: surprising, unique and distinctively, Cabins.
