In Antiques-related news, the new issue of Skyscraper magazine has the following review of "Awake," the second album by the Antiques:

THE ANTIQUES
Awake CD – Safranin Sound
I don’t know much about this Washington, D.C., trio, other than that I really do like the enticing blend of orchestrated chamber pop on their second full-length, Awake. The Antiques’ press bio mentions favorable comparisons to Felt, Orange Juice, and The Chameleons, and while I can kind of buy into that, Awake definitely has an artier vibe than anything those aforementioned bands released. These guys would have fit right in on Factory Records back in the day with their almost precision-like atmospheric sweep. The mood on “The Microphone Died,” “I Know the World Ended Tonight,” and, especially, the haunting title track definitely brings to mind Joy Division circa Closer, only with warmer vocals. The singer, Greg Svitil, really shines throughout Awake, coming off as a cross between Leonard Cohen and Stuart Staples of Tindersticks. Also great is “You’re Holding My World,” which has a similar tranceinducing quality to those amazing early Slowdive EPs, while the ballad “The Procession” could almost be something you would have found on one of those amazing Sarah Records comps back in the day.

The issue, #30, features articles on Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Comet Gain, Propagandhi, and far too many others to name, as well as loads of reviews and such.
That's all for now.  Come out this weekend if you're able to & the mood strikes.
