Don’t be fooled, Abbe May is all innuendo and lasciviousness. Her track ‘Taurus Chorus’ could be an innocent nod to a singing STM horoscope, while ‘Blood Red River’ might just make a US PG-rating for violence – as long as you don’t mention what’s really going on in that sweeping current of sensuality. It could be the alcohol at the Astor Theatre that’s making her Design Desire launch 18+ but, when it comes to expressing a near-pornographic vulnerability on the ebb of grinding rock n roll, we know better.
