“When the bubble or romantic suspense pops, a chorus, a wall of sound, a full culmination of six instruments really grabs the ears; A chanted motif, “I’m just too late”, has rung around in my head since coming across Abel Raise The Cain. This is a ‘big room’ song.”
Narc Magazine
“Abel Raise The Cain closed out 2012 with the release of their fantastic Double A-Side single, entitled ‘Too Late /The Promise’. The two tracks are great, with ‘Too Late’ having the previously mentioned orchestral sound that builds up to a satisfying crescendo with Crichton delivering a repeated poignant line “ I’m just too late” that really sticks in the head. ‘The Promise’ is equally majestic, but with a more varied structure of an acoustic opening, before building up to a huge cymbal-crashing middle-section and neatly wrapping up with a beautiful guitar line to draw the song to a close.”
Hooting and Howling Magazine
“’The Promise’, their latest single, is a positive example of what is yet to come. A strong arrangement of components from a solid foundation to husky vocals. A distinct range of elements creates the perfect atmospheric soundscape. With riffs that blend well when harmonized with repetitive vocals, effective musical layers are produced adding to the depth of this song. Despite being a new act we’re sure these guys will take 2013 by storm. Such a promising act with evident talent, you would be a fool not to keep an eye out for Abel Raise The Cain this year.”
Venture Mag Northeast
“‘The Promise’ is an ambitiously produced ethereal indie rock tune filled with tastefully layered guitar riffs and haunting harmonies. Sean Crichton’s husky vocals are filled with intense depth and emotion that instantly sweep you off of your feet.”
Cargo Collective
“An ambitious, bold sound for fans of Arcade Fire and Coldplay!”
Mixtape
