The Antelope - Mikial (2018)

ATLANT begins 2018 full of inspiration and anticipation by bringing you our first extended player in the form of 'Mikial' with sounds, shapes and textures across seven movements from The Antelope.

The gentle soothing hypnotic chimes of atmospheric opener 'Gullwing' and title track 'Mikial' use delicate yet crisp percussion against a distant background voices, drawing you into The Antelope's world.

The deep esoteric vibe of 'Floatplane' works in contrast to the darker intensity of 'Sleepchamber' and 'Eland' which both add more of a club dimension. The music here will reward the listener through repeated plays and work just as much at home, with 'Blackmore Vale' the perfect soundtrack for a beautiful misty early morning.

Uplifting and forward thinking closer 'Five Point Dreams' fuses sublime floating synth layers and percussive dynamics to leave you wanting more.
This is a release we are very proud of. Mikial reflects the rich diversity of ATLANT's sound and encompass the vision of label head BOg who tested elements on the road in Argentina late December.

THE ANTELOPE

The Antelope is endemic to the undulating landscapes of northern Punjab and yet is equally at home in the mountains of North American Appalachia. Sonic exploration and experimentation in textures form the natural habitat it thrives in.
