Attic Abasement - Summer Coat

Bandcamp / Spotify / Apple Music / iTunes / Amazon Music / TIDAL / Deezer / YouTube MP3 and WAV available. After a decade of near-silence, Attic Abasement returns with “Summer Coat,” reasserting songwriter Mike Rheinheimer’s wry, basement-born vernacular that built the project’s cult catalog. A fixture in Rochester, NY for more than twenty years, Rheinheimer has shaped a generation, channeling anxiety and dry humor into tightly constructed, deceptively simple indie rock that feels pleasantly askew. “Summer Coat” floats on a bright, plucky guitar, anchored by Rheinheimer’s distinct, measured drawl. With every instrument tracked by Rheinheimer himself, the song feels self-contained and deliberate, each element placed with a kind of private logic. It’s the sound of a songwriter returning to his own interior weather with a steadier hand. ✩ Written by Mike Rheinheimer ✩ Produced by Ben Morey & Mike Rheinheimer ✩ Engineered & Mixed by Ben Morey at Submarine Sound Studio, Rochester, NY ✩ Mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering, Chicago, IL ✩ Mike Rheinheimer: Vocals, guitars, bass, drums, wurlitzer piano, casio, percussion
