The Antlers - 2011-05-13 - Club Academy, Manchester, UK

The Antlers are one of those bands that you just have to see live. Each band member truly gives their all to bring their recorded material to life for the audience. Add this energy to the tiny, claustrophobic surroundings of Manchester's Club Academy and you have the perfect recipe for a great gig, and that's exactly what we got here.

This show was pretty early in the band's somewhat lengthy itinerary for the release of their latest album Burst Apart. That said, you could be forgiven for thinking the new songs were long-time mainstays of their setlists, fitting in well with a few tracks from the band's previous offering, the haunting and much heralded Hospice. Even though many people would have been hearing the new tracks for the first time, the audience were very respectful towards them and the recording is quite clean with regards to audience noise during songs.


Enjoy!  :-)
