Crystal Antlers announcement

'Tentacles', the hotly anticipated debut album from Crystal Antlers, will be released in April 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.

For now, Crystal Antlers are about to set sail for their first, gigantic European tour.
