Launch site »

Abacus’s music is harsh, mathematical, and in-your-face. The website design reflects these characteristics on two levels: Aesthetically, the site is stripped-down, but pushy, using bold text and oversized images. Structurally, all of the information is presented upfront on one page. The single page design also allows visitors to stream the band’s music without interruption as they browse the site. The design’s sterility reflects the band’s precise compositions and plays with its laboratory-inspired wardrobe during performances.

This design is coordinated with the album cover for Abacus’s upcoming LP.

Abacusabacus.com was built on WordPress and features a Franklin Gothic Medium, Helvetica, Arial font-stack. The audio player is a customized version of Opentape.
