Artist Bio
When the band formed in 2006, three of it’s members—including lead singer and bassist Jonny Bell—were in fact working as chimney sweeps and playing out constantly in Southern California. Getting dirty by day and by night, the band recorded two 7-inch singles before settling down to record this EP with the Mars Volta’s Ikey Owens.
When the band sent them a copy earlier this year, Touch and Go were blown away by its swirling guitars, dramatic organ clamour, and relentless blending of influences ranging from cinematic psych to noisy soul punk, flooring the listener.
With an as-yet-untitled debut album on Touch and Go in April, the excitement mounts as the band confirm UK and Irish dates for early 2009!
“A blast furnace, Ravenously reducing psych, garage [and] via their sheer sound and fury” Plan B
“If you hear anything more exciting this year, you’re lying.” NME
“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
