From the very first minutes of this, Crystal Antlers' debut full-length (following last year's 25 minute long EP), when a short instrumental introduction pitches pounding rhythms against relentless organ riffs and howling guitar soloing, before giving way, with barely a pause, to the full raw-voiced rush of 'Dust', it is clear that the band's ferocious energy is in full flow. Recorded and mixed on old-school analogue tape over the course of a single feverish week, the raw immediacy of Crystal Antlers' sound positively burns from the speakers as they blast through 13 tracks of psychedelic organ-drenched garage rock fuzz. With a host of breathless raw vocal howls, breakneck bass and percussion propulsion, screeching guitar soloing straight for the stars and melodic organ whirl, there's barely a moments rest until we reach the prog-psych closer 'Several Tongues' which brings a epic blow-out finish to the rich vitality of this gloriously exhausting debut.'Tentacles' is available now on Touch And Go.
