'Nothing Is Real' is Crystal Antlers going beyond the beyond, with songs that rattle and ricochet from desolation to delirium. Opener 'Pray' sounds like what would have happened if Black Flag's Greg Ginn had produced the first Psychedelic Furs single; 'Persephone' and 'Anywhere But Here' match the desperate, relentless rhythm of the Wipers with the inside-out guitar melodies of the Pixies, 'Licorice Pizza' recalls lost cult-punk heroes like the Flesh Eaters or the Embarrassment. On 'Nothing Is Real', you'll feel as much as hear echoes of bands like Wire, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr., especially on the bleak closer 'Prisoner Song' - bands who knew beauty and noise could be the same thing. And for the first time ever on a Crystal Antlers recording there are also drum machines, synths and even 4/4 drum beats.
