Abolition by Beautiful Losers

This is the 4th album released by the Beautiful Losers since they reformed in 2014. Unlike their previous three albums, or indeed their recordings in the 1980s and 90s, this one is raw - simple arrangements of rhythm guitar, bass, drums, and either piano or organ. There are no guitar solos, nor any solos by any other instrument. There is no sax or cello or other enhancements. Apart from overdubbing an acoustic guitar here and there, the only embellishments are the sublime vocals provided by Leah Grant, Tanaya Harper, Damien Goerke, and Adrian Hoffmann. The focus on this collection of songs is the lyrics, so the production has largely been driven by a desire to avoid distraction from the vocals.
