Acoustic-guitar based alternative folk-pop with singer/songwriter observations on everyday life, mingled with the crunchiness of Alanis Morrisette, the warmth of Carole King and the subtle layering of haunting guitars a la Daniel Lanois.

Details:
"Everything is Older" is the debut album of Los Angeles based singer/songwriter, Karen Abrams. Before it hit the stores, "Always Came Back", a cut from the album, was featured on HBO's "Six Feet Under", on August 8, 2004.

Raised in Santa Monica, Karen has been writing songs since the age of eleven. With the support of her family, she pursued her dream, playing at clubs around the Los Angeles area. When that didn't result in broad-based, rabid fan worship, she began to build an album the old fashioned way: she learned it. "I kept writing the same song over and over," Karen sighed. "It was getting obnoxious. So I found a teacher and began to study music theory and songwriting as a craft." It took a while, but what came out of it was a heartfelt album filled with stories of painful breakups, pointless encounters and new beginnings.
