The Antiques Washington Post Review/Show Review

Been a little while since we posted. But, we've been busy getting ready for all the releases we have coming up. Here is a review from The Washington Post for The Antiques "Sewn With Stitches" and Iota (Arlington, VA) show Saturday May 12.

The Antiques "Sewn With Stitches"
At 14 songs and clocking in at over an hour, the Antiques' "Sewn With Stiches" is a lot to digest -- probably a bit too much. But for fans of semi-obscure '80s British acts such as Comsat Angels and the Chameleons UK ... well, here is your new favorite band. The songs are dramatic without being overwrought, as the band doesn't get bogged down with unnecessary instrumentation. A thick organ sound envelops tracks such as "Painted Post Road" and "Don't Stand in My Room," which plod along gingerly while Greg Svitil gives a perfect deadpan delivery of lines like, "Don't light up my life / Yours is the light I don't need / When did you become such a creep? / When did you become so psychotic?" Things are more sprightly on "One Day You'll Be Sorry Too" and "Auburn Aumbry," recalling some different obscure '80s U.K. acts -- let's say Felt and Orange Juice this time. People who are serious about their 7" record collection will seriously love this album.

The Antiques @ Iota
Spring is here, and Iota has a fine lineup of romantic, jangly season-appropriate music for you tonight. Kicking things off will be the debut of Julie Ocean (listen), a new indie-pop outfit featuring former members of Velocity Girl, the Saturday People, Severin and other bands from the heyday of the 7" single. A couple of bands celebrating the release of new albums will follow. David once described the Antiques (listen) as "the best moody British band from 1986 that's somehow making music in D.C. right now" and after a few listens to "Sewn with Stitches," the description holds. The meticulously crafted songs are full of drama, sometimes heavy on thick organ, other times with reverb-laden guitar. The songs on Lejeune's "For Club and Country" (listen) don't lack for drama either, from Sam Bishop's vocals to the grand, fleshed-out arrangements. This isn't simple, guitar-based indie rock; it's something bigger, and the quintet does a fine job pulling off the complicated sound.
