Antique Glow - JSC004

Originally a self–released, vinyl-only album with hand-painted sleeves, this, Kelley’s second album, was released on the Jackpine Social Club label. Antique Glow is a stunner, blending folkish panache with an alt.country aesthetic that at times sounds like Will Oldham, at others like early Pavement, yet able to dip into instrumental droplets of tinkling piano and untreated found sounds. Varied and hugely engaging, the album traipses from a motoric Velvets chug, some sublime Nick Drake-esque folk, a spaced-out psychedelic wash and a British post-everything slant… all melded together by an 8-track mind and Spector-esque vision. It’s simply a killer.
