ANTA
This Bristolian unit are often described as a “monster prog quartet”, but don’t worry, they adamantly distance themselves from the goofy connotations of the P word, and they’re definitely not a bunch self-important blokes with perms singing about unicorns and playing 12 minute flute solos. Quite the contrary. ANTA’s instrumental jams explore the depths of gnarlyness with crunchy basslines, metal riffage, psychedelic organs and a drummer who’s so tight that he probably embarrasses every other sticksman who plays the same bill as him. They’ve received high praise so far (synth player Alex also performs with Geoff Barrow’s Drokk project), and having been going since 2010, if you’ve been sleeping on ANTA until now, their stonker of a new album Centurionaught is a good place to start.
