The Antlers made a true masterpiece last year: ‘Burst Apart’. Originating as the bedroom project of frontman Peter Silberman, this band is now well-established in every music-lover's record cabinet. Often to be found in the section TC, Timeless Class, where many a Radiohead CD can be spotted.

 
Their ‘Hospice’ from 2009 meant the breakthrough for this Brooklyn Band and the album acquired a real cult status. At the time, Focus Knack referred to it as ‘the most gripping post-rock album of the year’. A little later the band sold out 2 ABClubs in no time at all. After their unfortunate cancellation at Pukkelpop 2011 and a wonderful concert in the Botanique that was sold out long in advance, The Antlers now return to the AB.

I Am Oak were highly praised for the melancholy folk on debut album ‘On Claws’. The band encompassing singer/songwriter Thijs Kuijken (from Utrecht) released a next album in May 2011: ‘Oasem’. Musically, the more moody ‘Oasem’ is further removed from the debut album than you'd possibly expect. There are almost no acoustic instruments to be heard on the new album, which is based upon keys, organs and even a balaphone. Whereas the indie-folk of ‘On Claws’ was still compared with Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, the deeper ‘Oasem’ leaves the folk somewhat more in the background.
 
"The most beautiful Dutch folk album this year." -3VOOR12 "Stunning!" -OOR

Inderdaad: veel te luid. Een groot deel van de cd-melodie vervaagde... The Antlers deden bij momenten erg aan Mogwai denken, hetgeen niet per se negatief dient te zijn, maar de finesse werd er niet echt door bevorderd. I Am Oak had het dan beter voor mekaar met hun aan Gravenhurst refererende nummers...

't Is een puur persoonlijke mening, maar ik vond het echt niet goed :( Ik had nog niks live gehoord of gezien, en dat had ik beter eerst gedaan... Sommige (prachtige) nummers waren amper herkenbaar. Vooral die elektronica werkte op m'n zenuwen.

De bassen stonden inderdaad vrij luid, maar ik vond het nog meevallen. Heb er van genoten. Spijtig dat Bear niet gespeeld is, maar voor de rest een prima set :)

lang geleden dat ik zo'n slechte geluidsmix gehoord heb, bassen stonden ondragelijk luid. uit pure miserie vertrokken in 't midden van de show omdat ik hun nummers zo verkracht vond overkomen.

Fantastisch! Twee sublieme albums, ideale zaal voor The Antlers en aanvaardbare prijs.

Awel ik ben ook aan't denken om ze te gaan zien in de AB.

vond het achteraf ook niet erg dat ik hen had gemist in de Bota, dit lijkt me een betere setting voor the Antlers :) Can't wait.

De AB doet me dit jaar toch wat aan :p Ik moet nog even wachten met het kopen van mijn ticket, wegens geen geld door niet te kunnen werken tijdens de examens. Hopelijk is de geluidsmix deze keer trouwens wél in orde! Want dat was toch wel een domper in de Botanique. Je vraagt je dan af ofdat de band uberhaupt wel een soundcheck gedaan had, want de synths stonden zo hard dat ik Silberman met momenten amper kon horen.
