“Crystal Antlers scorch the Earth….” – Mojo
“If you hear anything more exciting this year, you’re lying.” – NME
“As much as it diverges from the brain-frying aim of typical psych-rock outings, EP is an
unorthodox summer record– not so much for driving to the beach as actually being in its
sweltering grasp, equal parts scorched earth and wide open spaces.” – Pitchfork
Currently holed up on a small farm near the ocean in La Bufadora, Mexico writing their second album,
Californian 6 piece Crystal Antlers (Damian Edwards – percussion, Jonny Bell – vocals/bass, Andrew King
– guitar, Cora Foxx – organ, Kevin Stuart – drums, Errol Davis – guitar) have announced their return to Europe in April
as part of a larger 45 day UK and European headline tour. They will also be hitting SXSW prior to their European trek.
The Little Sister/Dead Horses 7″ will be released Tuesday, March 9th. You can download the tracks
for free now or order a physical copy of the limited edition red vinyl (500 made) for $6 + S/H at their website.
Released last year, their debut, TENTACLES (Touch and Go) was a hotwired trip of brainfrying psych-punk
backed up with a live show to match. The April shows will see the band previewing tracks from their recent
writing retreat for the first time and promise to be nothing short of undiluted cosmic raw psych and
soulful punk rock.
“A blast furnance. Ravenously reducing psych, garage [and] via their sheer sound and fury” – Plan B
“This is Crystal Antlers, and they sound to these ears like bratty young brothers of Comets On Fire –
ie totally hotwired and fried psychedelic punks – only with a little of the noise removed for
fractional extra clarity” – Uncut.co.uk
