Since their demise in 2012, The Brave Little Abacus has since been discovered by many internet music listeners hungry for fresh, genre defying content. But outside of the fact that both bands are from New England, and have a keyboard player, there really isn’t any way to compare TBLA to The World Is… or any other band for that matter - they occupy a space all to themselves. Combining mathy, sporadic, and unorthodox music ripe with complex song structures and a distinctive use of keyboard, TBLA filled a niche that The World Is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid To Die would later capitalize on. Creating some of the most challenging, intimate, and delightful music ever put to tape for half a decade somehow wasn’t enough - the band never broke out of their local New England scene, and sadly released their last record and played their last show in 2012. Self-releasing almost all of their music, playing in legion halls, and forming slightly ahead of the emo revival scene, TBLA were mostly overlooked and underappreciated during their time. What The Brave Little Abacus is not, however, is well known. They were eclectic, energetic, experimental, odd, off putting, and above all else, they were remarkable.
