Abandoned City - Very Good, Based on 15 Critics. As Hauschka, Volker Bertelmann's skill and creativity in bringing the prepared piano into the 21st century are well-known, but Abandoned City is his first album to feature the instrument this prominently since 2005's aptly named The Prepared Piano. It's also one of his most solitary efforts in some time; aside from a few assists by contrabassist Roland Nebe and clarinetist Simone Weber, virtually every sound was made by Bertelmann.
Abandoned City was recorded in Hauschka's home studio in a burstof creative energy following the birth of his first son. The songs were recorded using nine microphones. Six recorded the sounds coming from the piano strings through an analogue console feeding directly into a computer to preserve the instrument's full, warm sound. Abandoned City" (9 tracks; 44 mi. starts off with a brooding "Elizabeth Bay", heavy on bass-like sounds. Pripyat" is, at close to 8 mi. by far the longest piece on the album, sounding impressionist-like. Thames Town" is minimalism at its best. The first half of the album concludes with a very somber "Who Lived Here?". The album's second half feels lighter, and more relaxed in a way, starting with a jazzy "Agdam".
Abandoned is the fourth studio album by American melodic hardcore band Defeater. Abandoned is a concept album, following the story of the Catholic priest in the song "Cowardice" from Travels. This album is Defeater's first release with Epitaph Records. They went on tour in support of the album, supported by Four Year Strong, Expire, Superheaven, Speak Low If You Speak Love, My Iron Lung, and Elder Brother

Hauschka will release his next album, Abandoned City, on March 18th. The new LP follows last year's Salon Des Amateurs, where Volker Bertelmann used his trademark prepared piano methods to replicate techno and house. Abandoned City, reportedly written in a short period of time in the free moments that the Dusseldorf-based artist could find away from his newborn son, preoccupies itself with "bright cheerful keyboard patterns and dark percussive overtones," according to a press release.
