abandon city

shoegaze, dreamo, sludge

An ongoing project by Eric Leavell

Abandon City represents my most personal expressions through music

A place where I channel my nostalgia for dark emotions and loneliness



January 27th, 2023 - "Dismissive" Out Now

Check out the release page for "Dismissive"

"Dismissive" is out today and I couldn't be more excited to start this new chapter of Abandon City.

I'm no longer attracted to a "purist" attitude about genre, style, mood, and sound. I will always maintain my core style (specifically on guitar) but I want decorate that sound with new and surprising elements.

With "Dismissive", I just started to dip my toe into those waters and I feel the results clearly speak for themselves. These two songs have me immensely excited for the future of Abandon City.
