Chris Abrahams

Chris Abrahams’ “Play Scar” album is without hesitation my favourite record of the year. I was expecting an album of solo piano – he is the pianist with The Necks after all – so I was surprised to find myself listening to an album that mixed electronics, musique concrete, noise and drone with hardly any piano.

He played recently enough in Café Oto in London (a venue I have yet to visit but consistently puts on some of the most amazing acts) but unfortunately, I couldn't get over to see him.

Here is an incredible live clip of Abrahams live. (Not at Cafe Oto.)

The album sounds nothing like this.
