Antelope...finally
This one's been in the pipeline for months, and seems to be flying almost entirely under the radar. But never mind, it's damned good, totally eccentric, principled, exactly what you'd expect from a Dischord band, except a little dancier.Here's the start of my PopMatters review, up today:"Dischord mainstay Justin Moyer has always been master of odd, hard-to-categorize projects like the jittery El Guapo, weirdly danceable Supersystem, and drag-wearing, over-the-top Edie Sedgwick. You get the sense, reading the reviews, that no one knows exactly what do to with him. He’s not what they expect. He doesn’t fit any of the boxes. And yet, there’s an eccentric, serious intelligence at work across all of these projects, one that binds random elements like electro-dance, post-hardcore, and indie rock into unexpectedly compelling mixtures. Now with his first full-length as Antelope, Moyer’s back with his unclassifiable staccato grooves that somehow bridge Prince and Delta 5, Nintendo-core and indie singer-songwriter. The 11 cuts on Reflector are terse, sentiment-free manifestos, built on ping-ponging repetitive guitar and bass riffs and ornamented with abstractly passionate verbiage. There’s a stern Dischord-esque discipline at work, but also a post-disco hedonism. “Gotta get control / Gotta get containedâ€, intones Moyer, over and over, on the addictively sing-song-y “Contractionâ€. It’s a song about minimalism that you can shake your butt to."
