'Tentacles' released April 6th
'Tentacles', the hotly anticipated debut album from Crystal Antlers will be released on April 6th (Europe) via the stalwart indie label Touch and Go Records, home to CocoRosie, Ted Leo, The Jesus Lizard, and many others.
Recorded and mixed on 2” tape at San Francisco’s Closer Studios in the span of one sleepless week, 'Tentacles' is a document of the Antlers’ vigorous work ethic and breathless vitality. As hinted at on last year’s 'EP', many of the tracks here touch on the fragility of nature and its destruction by humankind, all under a cloudburst of epic sound and energy.
Beyond the sonic expansion, the band itself has grown: original guitarist Errol Davis returned to the fold for ‘Tentacles’, bringing the personnel tally to one bass, two guitars, two drummers, and an organ. Davis will also be a part of the Antlers’ manic and massive live show, joining them on the road for the North American tour in March. The Antlers' also return to the UK for 3 dates.

“If you hear anything more exciting this year, you’re lying.” NME
“A blast furnace, 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
