about

Ken Stringfellow and Mike Lucero’s latest single continues to delve into serious subject matter. “The Abyss” is a song about making important choices, and was inspired by Lucero’s investigation into what caused people to be radicalized. He learned much of it had to do with belonging and feeling part of a group, a community, or a family. The song uses the metaphor of a river to express how people make life choices that become more and more inevitable as they take the plunge into the depths of belief and belonging. The concept is universal and transcends more broadly than jihadism, identifying a fundamental human trait that Stringfellow and Lucero powerfully evoke in this song; everyone has their own Abyss.

Lucero conceived the song and it was refined and developed by Stringfellow in a demo. The track was then produced with some of Seattle’s greatest musical talent. Colin Richey (Hey Marseilles, Cataldo, Cloud Nothings) played a significant role in the production, guiding many of the creative decisions. Andrew Joslyn (Macklemore, Passengers, Budo) provided a powerful set of strings. Jonathan Warman (Fences, Kris Orlowski, Silver Torches) was one of the original creative partners, and provided bass and many other creative elements. The tracking for the single was done at the legendary Avast Studios, home of so many Pac NW-spawned hits. Stringfellow then took those elements. added vocals and guitars, and then did the final mix at his studio in the French countryside.
