Abi Wade is a musician based in Brighton, UK. A Musical collaboration between limbs, strings and vocal chords. Her music is seemingly and seamlessly sewn together, each beat, melody and bass line put exactly in its place, to create songs that pull the heart strings and a performance that will beguile and intrigue.

So far she has toured the UK & Europe with Patrick Wolf, played festivals such as End of The Road, The Great Escape and Wilderness, sold out her debut EP, released music on the label set up by Esben & The Witch’s Daniel Copeman, with whom she also records with and played shows with the likes of CocoRosie, Dan Mangan, Other Lives & Deptford Goth. Her music has also been used on MTV series ‘Awkward’ and Cinemax series ‘Banshee’.

Limited Edition vinyl. All pre-orders include exclusive interactive artwork available to those pre-ordering the album, from which I will write a new song as a response to the communication I receive. 

Inspired by the dadaist approach using surrealist techniques to inspire. RSVP a creation of your own using elements from the artwork itself. I will write a new song responding to and incorporating the words that I receive.

"The songwriter is responsible for drifting, endlessly evolving pieces of music, utilising fragmentary pop vocals, unexpected arrangements and her beloved cello." Clash - Track of the Day

“So expect to see more of Abi Wade – a glorious, wailing cellist in a jumpsuit, who even at her fussiest managed an itchy thrill and prompted memories of everyone from Kate Bush to Joanna Newsom” The Scottish Herald

‘Well known and loved for her approach to the stringed instrument, the cellist has created a name for herself as a musician to test the tide and fight against it’ Drunken Werewolf

‘Intense, focused vocals make this strong; but Wade’s incredible cello and electronic work make the song more powerful still’ New Internationalist

'a fascinating gateway into her world, an endearingly odd and hopelessly bewitching piece of music' Clash Magazine 
'Haunting brass and a blissful wind section filters through sweeping strings to form an orchestral arrangement that perfectly complements Wade’s heartfelt lyrics on relationships and human nature.' WithGuitars.com 
'Abi’s music is a wonderful continuity of sound, mixed with haunting but demure beckoning of solitary serenades. It’s a delight' Comeherefloyd

My debut album Beautifully Astray is out now!
“ There’s a lot to love about Abi Wade’s debut album... I found the symphonic and abstract sides of the albums  really come together beautifully and when being theatrical and dramatic –  there’s little less like it out there at the moment. She’s not quite  avant-garde but she’s not really toeing any other line either – and that  makes this album’s title perfectly apt. “ Higher Plain
“a truly gorgeous and mesmerising piece of work from an exciting new talent.” BrightonsFinest
