Sounds Like
"... a musical space that definitely sounds very much their own...an almost orchestral canvas over which their edgy and sometimes shy vocals, pour strange melodies and descriptive, dramatic dialogues...hugely original." Manchester Music Online
"In short: haunting, lush and magnificent." Mike Reynolds, Sandman Magazine
"I've taken some trippy shit in my time, & they were good shrooms". Finley Quaye
"Wish John Peel were still around. He'd have loved you lot!" Paul Heaton
"... a set that thrilled and spilled off the stage with an urgency and basic desire to create. If necessity is the mother of invention, then I believe that Awash With AntleR are each her daughter." Michelle Dee, thisisUll.com
"Wonderful, amazing & fantastic!" Alan Raw, BBC Introducing
Hello! We're Awash With AntleR. We love tea. We live by the North Sea & Yorkshire Moors. It's cold. We sup vodka & winter soup & write tunes on whatever takes our fancy- ancient desert warfare, schizophrenic bisons, the voodoo greengrocer, lost souls at sea, swollen hearts, baking a blackbird pie, expeditions & lemons, how rubbish we are at chess... We're currently recording tunes around the fireplace, in war bunkers & caves, in our magic wardrobe & even, shock horror, in a proper studio. Make friends with us & come follow our wonderful techni coloured blog. Thank you for stopping by, see you soon, xXx

Hello all at AWA! Excellant evening last Friday (at The Adelphi). Your CD has been playing in my car all week - I bought it, even though I already had your earlier freebie! I think This Desert is wonderful, & I still like Blizzard Lemons with it's haunting organ sound - all very atmospheric.
Adelphi Friday 13. As an AntleR virgin, I had no idea what to expect. Creative, humorous musicianship is alive and well in Holderness and beyond it seems. A supremely delightful quirkiness that sets you apart. Yep, now a fan. IH - FoB (Graham suggested I go. Really glad I did. Ta Graham).
