About this deal

Until about a week ago, Ants From Up There could be heard as a classic breakup album. All seven members of the London band amplify the dynamics of Wood’s every convulsion, from giddy infatuation to paralyzing despair, as he desperately sacrifices his serenity for a tragic and heroic cause. But on January 31, the band announced, through Wood’s own emotional letter, that he “won’t be a member of the group anymore,” and that the remaining members will carry on without him. So now the question is, “Break up with whom?” “Isaac will suffer, Concorde will fly,” he sings a minute earlier on “Concorde.” Perhaps he’s talking to the band he’d leave four days before they shared a triumphant album with the rest of the world.

BC, NR is Lewis Evans (saxophonist), May Kershaw (keys), Charlie Wayne (drums), Luke Mark (guitar), Tyler Hyde (bass) and Georgia Ellery (violin). Recorded at Chale Abbey Studios, Isle Of Wight, across the summer with the band’s long-term live engineer Sergio Maschetzko, it’s also an album that comes loaded with a deep-rooted conviction in the end result. “We were just so hyped the whole time,” says Hyde. “It was such a pleasure to make. I've kind of accepted that this might be the best thing that I'm ever part of for the rest of my life. And that's fine.”My pressing is incredibly quiet, has tonnes of surface noise and doesn't sound anywhere near as good as on digital. Tried cleaning it, did nothing. Just listen to it on Spotify lol.

Undeniable melodies swim up from beneath layers of distortion and effects, making this a psych-pop winner. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023 go to album Porchlight dish out smart and edgy post-punk, the kind where wry lyrics are spoken-sung over jittery guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 11, 2023 go to albumdoesn’t seem to be dirty or scratched. sounded fine before I’m not sure what happened. anyone had this problem?? There you go, best album from 2022. I also noticed surface noise in a few places (during Concorde and Mark's Theme) but I wouldn't be surprised if it was my turntable (...) Listened to it the first day it came out, loved it then, and even now. Glad to have got the last remaining deluxe vinyl box set. Good morning! Definitely one of the best albums of 2022, and "The Place Where He Inserted the Blade" is an amazing song.
