The Antlers & The Flying Change
Alex Tudor wrote a great review of the new Antlers album, Hospice, in Drowned in Sound today and name checked The Flying Change. The guys at DiS have become great supporters of the music and it’s pretty cool to be associated with other bands that are making great and powerful music.
Here’s the full paragraph:
This is what artists do. As well as re-shuffling the deck of influences and instrumentation, for a new/old way to rock out, they also re-orient you by the archetypes of your time. Where the supposedly ‘modern’ rock song intersects with ‘traditional’ healing rituals is in the swirl of images that may not be new, individually, but remind you that you’re on a well-trodden path. This year, Sam Jacobs (as The Flying Change) released a magnificent album to do what the doctors literally couldn’t, for his sick wife, while Shearwater (on Palo Santo, and several songs from Rook, last year) used the drama of Nico’s life, and the symbolism of her art to ask how and why we turn the one into the other. So, Yes, you’ve heard much of this before. That’s a good thing, in this case.
Little pots of water on the stove, my friends. Little pots of water. One day they’ll bubble over.
