There seems to be a fashion with bands at the moment with either having the word crystal in your name (Crystal castles, Crystal Skulls, Crystal Stilts etc) or something to do with a deer (Deerhunter, Deer Tick, etc) Crystal Antlers have gone for both of those, but don't assume for a second that these guys are jumping on any trend. Their music on the surface is an exhausting mix of feedback, organs and but once you get through that barrier there is an amazing amount of melody, brilliant key changes that send songs in a complete direction from how they started and influences ranging from 60's psychedelia to free form jazz, etc. Each song interlaces nicely into one another. You can' hear the lyrics through the noise but that just adds to the charm and appeal of Crystal Antlers.
This is definitely a band we will be hearing more from.
