Off the charts cool! AA has a knack for cranking out grumbly but engaging tunes of gritty, existential angst, and no one else is doing this kind of thing any better right now. - IMPOSE MAGAZINE: Anthony Mark Happel
Abstract Artimus ain’t no quitter. If anything, he’s a rock’n’roll lifer and workaholic, evidenced by years of constant writing, recording, and touring. His new single, “Quitter’s Face,” is his latest iteration of a consistently idiosyncratic mix of punk rock perseverance, Southern boogie blues, garage-soul vocals, and experimental estrangement. “Nobody wants to see a quitter’s face,” he exclaims in the chorus, another of his mantras, referencing his own relentless pursuit of rock’n’roll transcendence. The song has an anxiously propulsive sound until the sequence of solos that jump exquisitely into oddball psych territory. It’s compelling and rockin. - Mod Mobilian

Bio
Abstract Artimus is an American music composer and performer from Alabama currently living in Brooklyn, NY. In his youth his father was the drummer for the

His formative years consisted of playing an array of instruments in
several different bands while touring nationally and frequenting cities
in the Southeast and along the Gulf Coast. Eventually Abstract Artimus manifested from necessity of creative freedom. Since then he has toured extensively in Europe, North and South America and has
