Curriculum, (the follow up to her acclaimed debut, The Rearview), marks a metaphoric and musical evolution for the 27-year old songwriter. Inspired by the thrilling yet frenetic challenges of being an emerging musician in NYC, Curriculum documents the path to independence (both musical and personal) navigating the many lessons learned along the way.
The album’s production values were crafted with a similar mentality. Abby teamed up with Brooklyn-based producers Mark Marshall and Nathan Rosenberg. Together, they have produced an organic, searing portrait of sound and emotion.
Adding to the album’s sonic maturity and authenticity are a stellar lineup of NY musicians including Clark Gayton, Steven Bernstein, and Erik Lawrence (who comprise the horn section for legendary musician Levon Helm) and Grammy Award winning multi-instrumentalist, Michael Leonhart.

When the louds and quiets are embraced and explored in guitar-based folk-rock, it can only serve to make the delicate melodies more capturing and the hammering strums more exclamatory. These ten tracks from this buzzed-about NYC singer/songwriter do both exceptionally well, and her knack for layering songs with tasteful accompanying instruments makes her already stark and enrapturing vocals that much more engaging. Not afraid to challenge the listener with literate lyricism (the cover should have tipped you off) and intricate song structures, this is an ambitious group of songs that will keep you coming back to catch all the subtleties.
