2007 US issue on standard LP-The Washington, D.C. band Antelope plays hypnotic, interweaving guitar and bass lines punctuated by studied, off-kilter drumming and overlaid by plaintive vocals. Its third album, given a bare-bones production by Ian MacKaye, features punky, exploratory tracks like "Dead Eye," lilting, modal pieces such as "Mirroring," and herky-jerky math rock outings such as "Contraction" and "Wandering Ghost." Despite its basic instrumentation, the three-piece produces a sound compelling enough to keep the listener coming back for more.

Tracks:
A1 Reflector
A2 Dead Eye
A3 Contraction
A4 Mirroring
A5 Justin Jesus

B1 Wandering Ghost
B2 Flower
B3 Concentration
B4 The Demon
B5 Collective Dream

Antelope was formed in Washington DC in 2001 by exmembers of the Vertebrates Bee Elvy and Mike Andre and El Guapos Justin Moyer In March of 2002 the band recorded six songs with Phil Manley of Trans Am at National Recording Studios&nbsp
Theres a certain charm that comes with stripping music down to its simplest form but pulling it off can be difficult For many bands their music is their cover something to hide mediocre lyrics and vocals behind But if you take away that cover the general consensus is that you better be an amazing songwriter MTV executives take note This is why something like Korn Unplugged simply doesnt work
On the album Reflector Washington DCbased Antelope surely subscribes to that motto of less is better but the band finds itself awkwardly shifting between what works and what doesnt Recorded and mixed by Ian MacKaye the album resembles MacKayes current project The Evens in many ways Its punk minus the fistpumping bravado Power chords have been replaced by repetitive strings of notes and the drums shuffle through each song
On some songs it works wonderfully like the catchy opening track Reflector and the raw Dead Eye But the constant regurgitation of melody and lyrics sometimes ruins potentially great songs Wandering Ghost or turns oneminute songs like Collective Dream into half thoughts The band consisting of Mike Andre on bass drums and vocals Bee Elvy on bass drums and vocals and Justin Moyer on guitar and vocals openly admits to frequent use of the melody vs repetition equation so its useless to call them out on it Plus if youre an Ian MacKaye fan youre likely to ignore all of this and buy the album anyway
