REVIEW: The Antlers – ‘Familiars’

Artist: The Antlers Album: Familiars Genre: Ambient Rock Label: Anti- When a band takes its name from a Microphones song, it’s fair game to expect hopeless toiling in love metaphors, jumpy explorative arrangements, and, above all, musical cataracts in the form of depression. Phil Elverum’s “Antlers,” a lo-fi folk recording that fades out with a […]

REVIEW: Sharon Van Etten – ‘Are We There’

Artist: Sharon Van Etten Album: Are We There Genre: Folk Rock Label: Jagjaguwar Sharon Van Etten is a rarity among musicians. The New Jersey native will step onstage and squabble with her three-piece backing band, combining nervous jokes with a half-snort laugh that would probably get a kid bullied in middle school.

Welcome to this week’s edition of Weekly Wax! The most exciting release of the last seven days is one that nobody saw coming. Copeland might have launched a painfully long pre-order for Ixora, but the wait will certainly be worth it, and you can still pick up a copy on black or white vinyl. If […]

The Antlers Announce New Album ‘Familiars’, Share “Palace” Music Video

The Antlers are back. It feels like it’s been ages since we last heard from the Brooklyn indie rock band–2012’s [together] and Undersea EPs and 2011’s Burst Apart LP are already wearing from continual spins–but a new album is finally ready to drop. On June 17, The Antlers’ fourth album, Familiars, will be out via Anti- (or June 16 via Transgressive in […]
