Thank you for watching my Telekinetic Yeti Abominable Album Review 2017 video. Before we get into a couple more details, here is a quick summary of Telekinetic Yeti and their background.

Telekinetic Yeti is a 2 piece stoner rock/doom band that was formed by Alex Baumann and Anthony Dreyer in march of 2015. They have been impressing audiences across the Midwest with their high energy performances and thunderous live sound. Telekinetic yeti's first full length album "Abominable" is scheduled for release on March 17 2017. They also released their first music video on January 1, 2017 which has been racking up views at an admirable rate.

Well, as I said in my review, this is it. Alea jacta est, the die is cast. This sounds rather martial given the historical background of this adage, but it is still exactly how I feel about ‘Abominable’ by Telekinetic Yeti which was released in March, 2017. And I guess I should stop my review right now, because seriously, what else is there to say? Well, not so fast. First of all, here is another quick link over to my website with a comprehensive review of the record:

As you know, I do a lot of reviews on Youtube of new and previously released albums. Fortunately, I actually like most of what I see and hear. But every once in while, well I run into a gem. And all it takes are a bunch of Marshall and Orange Amps paired with a solid drum kit to make great music. Well, I guess you need actual people who plays those instruments. Fortunately for us, Alex Baumann knows what he’s doing on his guitar and so does Anthony who sits behind the drums. 

Is Telekinetic Yeti Doom Metal or Stoner Doom? I don’t know. To this day I struggle with the definitions of these genres and sub genres. But does it really matter all that much? I don’t think so. Telekinetic Yeti’s debut album ‘Abominable’ doesn’t deserve to be confined to a certain category. 

Back real quickly to Alex Baumann and Anthony Dreyer. An important point that I would like to make that the reason why this band is so tight is because – well, at least in my opinion – harmonize so well with each other. This is not just because of their musicianship. The of them ‘understand’ each other which allows them to seemingly effortlessly move back and forth between massive riffs and playful licks.
