Song: Pisces by The Abstratica
POV: You just doomscrolled onto the niche alt rock side of this app, and you found me, The Abstratica! If you've been wondering who's behind the music, well, that's me, Cedric Lebert. I'm a one-man band from Charlotte, NE, pouring my heart and soul into every note, and I'm really excited to share the story behind my song, 'Pisces.' Creating 'Pisces' was a deeply personal journey. I wanted to capture that raw, introspective feeling you get when you're just lost in thought, maybe a little melancholic but also hopeful. The 'niche alt rock' label really fits, because I love blending the grittiness of grunge with the melodic sensibilities of indie rock, all while keeping that alternative edge. It’s not about fitting into a neat box; it’s about expressing what’s inside. Being a one-man band means everything, from the initial riff on my guitar to the final mix, is my creation. It’s challenging, for sure—sometimes I feel like I'm wearing a dozen different hats—but it’s also incredibly rewarding. There’s a certain freedom in having complete creative control, allowing me to fully realize the vision for each song. 'Pisces' really embodies that spirit. I played every instrument, recorded every vocal, and shaped every sound myself. It’s a true labor of love, crafted right here in Charlotte, NE. So, what can you expect from 'Pisces'? Think driving guitar lines that feel both familiar and fresh, atmospheric vocals that tell a story without needing too many words, and a rhythm section that pulls you into the groove. It’s the kind of track you can put on when you’re driving late at night, or when you just need to zone out and feel something real. It’s for anyone who appreciates music that’s a little off the beaten path, something with depth and genuine emotion. I’ve seen some of you searching for The Abstratica and Cedric Lebert, and I really hope this gives you a better insight into who I am and what my music is all about. 'Pisces' is just a glimpse into my musical world, and I’m constantly experimenting and evolving. If you’ve listened to the track, please drop a comment and let me know your thoughts. What did it make you feel? What images did it conjure? Your feedback means the world to me as I continue on this musical journey. Thanks for being here and supporting independent music!
