Young Antiques – Soundtrack to Tear Us Apart (Independent)
You’ve got to love a band that can rock out in a song about Japanese architecture, and that’s exactly what you get from Atlanta, Georgia’s Young Antiques. Track two of this beautifully constructed artefact is a paean to Tadao Ando, master of melding nature with modernism. Young Antiques are drawn to the oxymoronic without ever descending to the simply moronic. They are angelically tough and their garage sound deserves to be heard by the outside world. Singer-songwriter Blake Rainey has taken years to develop the Young Antiques’ raucous, energetic and passionate signature. “Laws” sees the tempo drop, but the intensity and sheer class of the operation is upheld. Rainey can switch from the detail of the mundane to huge sweeps of power chords and a keening vocal howl. A note of praise should be sounded for engineer Tim Delaney, who produces with clarity and power. Soundtrack To Tear Us Apart is more than likely to bring people together in praise of the Young Antiques. www.myspace.com/youngantiquesrock
