Dosed with an infectious Latin influence and diving into decades of electronica, crunchy sound effects and field recordings, Oakland-based abracadabra shimmies with the charismatic energy of Lizzy Mercier Descloux, dub hits of King Tubby, and the idiosyncrasies of Deerhoof.  

Comprised of core duo Chris Niles & Hannah Skelton, abracadabra offers an unconventional alternative to traditional guitar pop chord progressions as they blend found sounds with danceable motifs.  A chameleon of sorts, they either anchor their signature collage of vintage synthesizers, detuned drums, bird sounds and dub sirens with a funky 5-piece live band (think congas, claves, cowbell, samba whistle, etc), or they shape-shift into a more electronic form by fusing their existing and unreleased tracks with improvised industrial samples and experimental synthesis while pumping the whole lot through spring reverb and analog delay for an Adrian Sherwood-inspired dub duo interpretation.
