\\\\\\\\\\\abbaebanband.tumblr.com/////////// Abba Eban came into existence as SUNY Purchase students Raymond Chalmé and David Grimaldi began playing music together in the Dino Room at the Stood. They currently are working on their debut EP, which, factoring in the individual tastes of each artist, will probably encompass pop/psych/chillwave/punk/drone. Hopefully, the chillwave keeps itself to a minimum, though the boys aren't making any guarantees. Stay tuned, friends. <a href="https://www.la
