Sabot extend themselves on Sabo with a curious blend of warm
acoustic and electric guitars, the sensuous vocals of Monika Baenninger, Christine
Zufferey, and Shawn Marquis, drums, bass keyboards, "tooties" and
soprano saxophone. The music is dark, rich and organic -- intense in a somber and gentle
way, bordering more on the gothic and the somewhat on the more ritual side of
"darkwave" music and lyrics.
Hailing from the Boston
Massachusetts area, Sabot brings some of the best in female vocals,
guitar riffs and keyboard piano, mixed with graveyard music undertones -- creating a most
"unsettling" virtuoso even Satan would be happy to hear if he could get his hot
hands on it. Slow, melodic harmonics drift through the tracks while guitars
"sing" their way throughout with keyboards and the melancholic, dark yet eerily
joyful vocals/lyrics.
Haunting, uncompromising avant-goth
music, Sabot is for listeners more interested in the shadowy graceful
grave music of the 90s. Excellent addition to the genre.
