Post Description

Singer-songwriter, folk, roots en nog wat labels. Tegenwoordig zou dat genre-fluïde heten.

Abby Posner, an artist whose multifaceted talents span singing, songwriting, instrument mastery, film scoring, and producing, unveils her true artistic breadth with Second Chances. This album catapults modern American roots music into a realm of amplified audacity and innovation. A fusion of influences ranging from punk to rock to electronic, Second Chances mirrors the captivating diversity of its creator. Triggered by a life-altering breakup and the subsequent introspective quest for self-discovery, the album delves into themes of resilience, patience, self-awareness, and rejuvenation.

While Abby Posner dubs it a "queer love story," she clarifies that Second Chances is a narrative more about self-affection than external romantic bonds. Her own journey takes center stage, magnifying the essence of embracing the unknown with open arms. "Second Chances signifies my journey into a new chapter of life, where I'm chasing uncharted territories," she elaborates.

Indeed, the album forges an unprecedented sonic identity, channeling Posner's myriad of influences into an unmistakably unique sound. "Quiet On Sunset" begins as an acoustic folk ballad before morphing into an electronic realm. "If You Wanna Love" bridges the gap between Posner's punk roots and her present Americana offerings. "Darkest Hours," enriched by the full band's contribution, pulsates with late-night soul and bluesy guitar finesse. Other tracks exhibit modern influences like Phoebe Bridgers, with indie-pop nuances evident in "We've Come So Far." The haunting vocal harmonies in "Moving Back To Denver" evoke the intimacy reminiscent of Elliot Smith's iconic home recordings. 

Echoing Smith's DIY approach, Posner predominantly crafted Second Chances in her own sanctuary, performing every instrument herself while skilfully juggling roles as songwriter, performer and producer.
