Andrew Weiss gets the great rock genre (circa 1970s?). Be it Ween, Akron/Family, or Café Tacvba - every one of his creations has a trudging, half-dreaming Syd Barrent quality about it.

From laptops in living rooms to Weiss's mixing board, Aderbat has been no exception. On July 24, the five-membered band released their sophomore album We Belong To The Sea (also the title of an Aqua song - but similarities end there). Aderbat is a mash-up/throw-down of wonderful surrealism featuring Pink Floyd vs. Radiohead vs. Stan Getz (Matt Taylor's voice verges impressionistic shades of jazz).

It's about, yes, relationships. The band is, yes, hopelessly inspired by hip cultural references such as Roshomon (Aderbat is the name of some archaic experimental flying machine). Isn't it romantic?
