Abortive Gasp was an electro-industrial band formed by lead singer Tim Paal and composer Harry Luehr in 1988 in Hamburg, Germany. The two were often supported by various guest musicians.
History[edit]
Inside the electronic body music and independent scene, the duo was characterized by a high degree of improvisation and the early use of Dub. Due to their apolitical attitude and style of dress, which did not conform to common darkwave norms, they were controversial.[1]
The band received positive reviews from music journalists such as Brian Duguid.[2] Most of their rehearsals and recordings were done at the 'German Electron Synchrotron' DESY in Hamburg.[3]
In their final phase, Abortive Gasp gained attention by supporting Borghesia, a band with contrasting aesthetics.[4] They disbanded in December 1989.
In 2021, a documentary short about the band was released, sparking discussions about the gothic and darkwave scene's relationship with social minorities.[5]
