abracadabra is an American indie pop group from Oakland, California. The band is composed of core duo Hannah Skelton (vocals and synthesizers) and Chris Niles (bass).[1][2]

abracadabra formed after a chance encounter through a Halloween band covering the early Eurythmics album "In The Garden".[3]

The band has been described as "The New Wave of No Wave".[4] "Experimental synths nod to early 80s pop, with everyone from Duran Duran to Yellow Magic Orchestra looming in the background. Dubbed effects and a fondness for latin percussion permeate their work"[5]

They released their self-titled debut album via Anniversary on July 24 2020.[6] Their single 'Cherry Soda' received playlist placements from Danger Mouse, David Dean Burkhart and Jason Bentley and 'Tracing Outlines' was featured on the FX show Better Things.[7]

On January 20th 2023, abracadabra released their second album 'shapes & colors' on Melodic Records.[8] "abracadabra's space and colours are a mind-expanding experience, well worth the backwards time travel." according to The Quietus.[9] "...this album is a collection of songs with elements of no wave, dub, and disco which falls somewhere between the music of Tom Tom Club and Lizzie Mercier or maybe a minimal Eurythmics attempting to play early B52s. But also not like any of that." writes Joyzine.[10]

abracadabra supported 'shapes & colors' by performing at South by Southwest 2023, playing showcases for Levitation[11] and SXSJ among others.[12] They toured the United Kingdom that March supporting The Go! Team.[13][14] Their single 'talk talk' was also featured on the BBC Radio 6 Music Playlist.[15]

In the fall of 2023, abracadabra announced their first European headline tour and played festivals and clubs across the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and Germany.[16]
