    It's quite a treat to hear the duo create such refreshingly original music with rock's "standard" instruments.

    Arguably their best record yet, a logical and accessible realization of a sound they've been developing for more than six years.

    While Summer in Abaddon features Pinback’s by now trademarked sound and cryptic lyrics with a few nice developments, it falls victim to a sort of malaise of consistently indistinguishable mid-tempo rockers on the second half of an album that starts very strongly.
