Abadabad burst through the gates of the blogosphere in impressive form on debut single “Park Slope (I’m Sorry).” Actually, I suppose nothing about this track bursts as much as slinks. That impossibly catchy riff sneaks up on you and worms its way through your ears like an invisible, bendable laser shot. All the while the track bounces along in a manner that makes me want to jump on a bus immediately and blast this while sauntering through some semi-familiar Park Slope neighborhood. Abadabad succeed lyrically as well, invoking a ‘fuck you’ and ‘wait, Baby please take me back,’ attitude all at the same time underneath bright vocal reverb and overlapping harmonies. We’ll all have many jams this summer, and with “Park Slope (I’m Sorry)” I believe I’ve found my first. Now, how about that bus ticket?
