Lighting Matches

Left On Film is a new project from Robert Abel. Formerly from Brooklyn, now based in the Bay Area, Left On Film is Indie Rock with a NYC meets British influence. There’s lots of guitars, layers of synths, and melodies continually handing off from one to the next. Add some 80s New Wave and the good parts of the 90s thrown in and the mix comes out to be Left On Film. Now releasing a series of singles, starting with Lighting Matches.
