Formed in 2001, Anabret has been compared to Radiohead, The Smiths, and Coldplay. You can hear elements of all those groups in the band's lush and atmospheric songs, but anabret has a sound all its own.
The four-piece band is based in Seattle. They are as tight on stage as they are on their recent five-song debut release. The record has won widespread praise in print and online.
Anabret's songs are instantly memorable. Guitars, bass and drums create the textures and rhythms for the singer's rich and powerful voice. The music has a swirling, layered quality, but remains rooted in one engaging melody after another. Reviewers have said: "These guys just drip talent, making beautiful, moving, introspective rock."
Anabret recently played KEXP 90.3's "Live Room", broadcast to the Seattle Metro area, receiving rave reviews from the listening audience and staff alike. KEXP, the sister radio station of Seattle's Experience Music Project, is home to the "Live Room", an hour-long showcase focusing on one band's live material.
Not long after, the SeattlePI.com named Anabret as one of the area's most promising up & coming bands.
Lora, co-creator of the Coldplay fansite www.hotandcoldplay.com, writes:
"A relative newcomer, Anabret are a Seattle based band with a style, depth, and talent rarely seen in bands with so short a history...if you're lucky enough to be in the Seattle area, see them live."
The Georgia Straight, Vancouver B.C.'s premier local music paper, says Anabret "captures a three dimensional sound, with atmospheric and moody songwriting".
FOX Television's drama "John Doe" featured Anabret's song "The Coming Night", in one of the last episodes. The episode put Anabret's music into national exposure, and the reaction was overwhelming. The song is available on their recently released CD Single "Thoughts Dividing".
