Portland-based six piece Abronia today have shared their brooding, kaleidoscopic new single "Weapons Against Progress," the latest preview of their upcoming LP Shapes Unravel, out February 20th via Cardinal Fuzz & Feeding Tube Records. The track is accompanied by an eerie, otherworldly music video directed by Rick Pedrosa. Over the past decade, Abronia has been refining their singular blend of widescreen psychedelia, desert noir, Eastern drone, avant-jazz, doom, post-punk, and acid-folk—channeling something that feels at once ritualistic and cinematic.
"Riding into a landscape that has been burned by years of plastic, pollution, war and greed," vocalist/sax player Keelin Mayer explains of the track. "You're trying to grow up and become an adult in this bleak landscape watching billionaires jetting off into space leaving your generation to clean up their mess. "
From the first thud of their 32-inch bass drum to the coil of pedal steel winding through the haze, the sound of this Portland-based six-piece is unmistakable. Shapes Unravel is Abronia’s most ambitious and compositionally daring record to date—the album moves with a strange gravitational pull, layering grief, haunted memory, and flashes of transcendence into something emotionally expansive and structurally bold. Moments of crushing weight give way to eerie stillness, held together by an urgency that feels vital, not calculated. It's a record that doesn't politely wait for your attention; it pulls you into its orbit whether you're ready or not.
"Weapons Against Progress" is out today on all DSPs. Shapes Unravel is due for release on February 20th, 2026. |
