Taught Abroad
Taught Abroad
In the guise of a futuristic pop prophet, Taught Abroad has built a reputation for mesmerizing audiences with an electric live show that is equal parts earthy and ethereal, melancholy and menacing. Likewise his recordings, drenched in a cathedral of reverb, veer between lush swaths of vintage synthesizers and writhing masses of futuristic feedback, stretching pop paradigms to fit his needs. The juxtaposition of the two proves a fitting backdrop for a songwriter preoccupied with the intersection between the physical and the divine. His EPs chart transformations and alchemy, primarily the conversion of lust to love and back again.
