abrasions is a San Francisco east bay post-rock/darkwave project written and arranged solely by J Ericson.
Influenced by the likes of The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and Elliott Smith, J began writing music alone in 2006. After several independent ambient releases and three years crafting lush guitar orchestrations, found-sounds, and deeply personal lyrics documenting his dreary life experiences, J recorded his cathartic full-length album, Memorial.
From the acoustic noise-pop of Angel and the shoegaze insights of Dreamer to the funeral, longing atmospheres of All Ashes and Some Days, Memorial is a dark, emotional journey exploring themes of fear, loss, and acceptance over nine diverse tracks.
The music video for The Waiting Wall,a dark-ambient miasma at the album's heart, came a few months later, recorded and edited just as independently as the record it accompanied.
J also plays keyboards and rhythm guitar in the gothic rock band, Limnus.
