About Me

abulia was written, produced, recorded, engineered, and mixed by tireless engines at ||| hughes drive productions ||| on a budget of approximately $650.00. we may end up spending more than that in post-production (design, marketing, packaging, & printing). please stay tuned for updates as things continue to unfold. we have plans to produce 250 numbered vinyls of abulia. reserve your copy early!

Main Entry: abulia
Variant: or aboulia /A-'b(y)-lE-&, &-/
