This CD is The Antiques's second full-length in two years. The Washington, DC based group's early limited-edition EPs and seven inch single drew favorable comparisons to the likes of Orange Juice, The Chameleons UK, and Felt. The band has been around for nearly six years, recording records in their basement and developing an underground fan base both locally and globally. Blending the organ and guitar driven chamber-pop influences from their past releases with a more sweeping and funereal orchestration, Awake presents a fresh perspective and groundwork for exploration.
