A-SIDE is B-grade funky rock driven by beatbox-style rhythms and a groove built on backbeat guitar cuts. B-SIDE, ABEL—the original inspiration comes from THOMAS BLANK, a major Swedish artist from the ’80s known for his pop-rock style, who also explored symphonic music and classical folk songs, resulting in a sound that blends synth, dub, and rock with a niche, niche sound.
