HAAB and the dream theater of "Gravel Pit"











"forever in my bed"

HAAB based out of Denmark and Gravel Pit, released through "Mini Me Records", is a spartan dreamy affair with bedroom pop illusions but less shoegazey, less hazy. The pristine sound feels more post rock really, like a dream in church that floats along on trancy guitar notes, synthetic drones that slowly burn and Hannah Sommer's evocative vox, the song galvanized from a real dream she had about about a past boyfriend. In the dream he was buried alive in a gravel pit of snow. Hmmm, this feels like something that could end up in an Ari Aster movie. 


HAAB is Hannah Sommer (lead vox), Mikkel Kofod (drums /drumpads), Emma Sommer (keys, backing vox), Nicolai Hjerrild Nielsen (electric guitar)

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:


facebook

Gravel Pit is a song about being haunted by the past in your dreams. Something or someone is holding on to you but you need to let go an move on. Hannah (the lead singer) wrote it from a real dream she had about a boyfriend from her past. He was buried in a gravel pit of snow alive. It symbolizes that no matter how much you try to bury or kill the past it will always somehow be alive. Something you have to accept and live with for the rest of your live.
