   About THE ABBASI BROTHERS
Two brothers with a passion for art.

Something Like Nostalgia - The Abbasi Brothers - Something Like Nostalgia &



Some excerpts of reviews of Something Like Nostlgia:

Something Like Nostalgia is a gorgeous debut effort by Amman and Yousuf. I see a promising career for The Abbasi Brothers.
-BBC RADIO

There's a new candidate in town, and its name is The Abbasi Brothers. Like Harold Budd, Angelo Badalamenti and Erik Satie, Yousuf and Amman Abbasi specialize in soundtracking inner space with an eye toward finding the immanent transcendent in everyday life.
-WIRED MAGAZINE

I’d declare Something Like Nostalgia as being deeply and wholly affirming, and feel astonished that it’s been out there and waiting since July.
-COKE MACHINE GLOW 8.2/10

The Abbasi Brothers combine piano, guitars, electronic and found sounds to create 15 rich, cinematic and downright beautiful “sound-scenes.” I can’t recommend this one enough.
-BPM MAGAZINE Staff Recommendation

The Abbasi Brothers follow serenely in the formidable footsteps of granddaddies of ambient quietude Brian Eno and Philip Glass. Really really pretty.
-AQUARIUS RECORDS

From first listen it’s hard to imagine, even believe, that this is The Abbasi Brothers' debut effort. This release has given me a new outlook on what I believed was becoming a lost art. Do yourselves a favor and check out this release, it’s undoubtedly one of the year's best.
-THE SILENT BALLET 8/10

The album, two years in the making, clings tightly to the nomination as the modern classical soundtrack of my life.
-HEADPHONE COMMUTE Best of 2008

The brotherly duo of Amman and Yousuf meld seemingly every aspect of the spectrum of gorgeous epic instrumental music.
-NOW LIKE PHOTOGRAPHS Record of the Week

The Abbasi Brothers’ debut, Something Like Nostalgia has melodies of iridescent sparkle blend with ambient washes, guitar shadings, and programmed beats in fifteen shoegaze-inflected vignettes that'll have some listeners remembering the glory days of The Cocteau Twins.

Sigo muy preocupada con este tema,
y ya han pasado meses...

No comprendo que pretende,
ni cuales son sus verdaderas motivaciones,
la verdad, cada dia entiendo menos todo esto,
pero aunque no me llame y
no sepa nada de él...
siempre apoyaré a mi hijo
incluso en una locura como esta.


Muchas gracias por estar ahí.

Arriba te dejo una img de mi hijo x si no sabes quien es.
