Crystal Antlers, “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” MP3
- story Sam Hockley-Smith
Crystal Antlers are known mainly for repeatedly smacking people around in a musical whirlwind of ragged-voiced yelps and guitar fury rather than easing them into lovelorn peace, so this cover of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” came as somewhat of a quiet surprise. Of course, considering everyone and their mom has covered the song we could see how the band would want to get in on the action as well. It does put them in pretty good company.

Freeload: A Bunch of Songs From Urban Outfitters
- story THE FADER
Fans of good music and haters of vowels, come together and partake in Urban Outfitters latest URBN LSTN thing, in which they give away a crapload of free songs from a bunch of artists, some of whom have been given full endorsement by us in the pages of FADER Magazine and right here on this webternet site. Artists such as Grizzly Bear, Crystal Antlers, Apostle of Hustle, Passion Pit, The Big Pink, Amazing Baby, Jeremy Jay, Major Lazer, Popo, Lemonade, Nite Jewel, Phoenix and many more whose songs we’ve already posted here! It’s almost like they’re stealing from us! It’s almost like we should get compensated in some way! It’s almost like they should send over lifetime gift cards so we can stop wearing dirty t-shirts and duct tape shoes!

Freeload: Crystal Antlers, “Andrew”
- story THE FADER
All the weird psych rock that came out of California in the ’60s was awesome, but whenever new bands try to approximate that it usually comes off all watered down and dated. Crystal Antlers aren’t really about making some shit we’ve heard before, but they do take notice of some important touchstones: powerful organ runs, ragged vocals and an ability to turn even relatively short songs into something that sounds beyond epic. In fact, we probably shouldn’t be sitting in front of a computer while listening to this. Where’s the nearest canyon for our vision quest?

FADER TV: Avoiding Disease At The Yard
- story THE FADER
A couple weeks ago Brooklyn fairy godfather Todd P organized a massive mid-summer party at The Yard, a lovely greenspace on the shores of the gonorrheic Gowanus Canal (Oh shit! Gowanorrhea!), with performances by many FADER favorites such as Oneida, High Places, Shy Child, Crystal Antlers, Ponytail, Telepathe, Vivian Girls, Abe Vigoda, Soft Circle, Soiled Mattress and the Springs and Chairlift. We asked Todd if we could bring our video camera, and of course he said yes. We edited the nine or so hours down to several easily-digested minutes with performances by Ponytail, Crystal Antlers, Vivian Girls, Telepathe and Shy Child. Catch the virulent experience only on FADER TV.
