Artist: Les Petits
Album: The Mighty Antlers of Song EP’s
Label: Saved by Radio
Rating: 3/5
Across an expanse of acoustic guitars and little else, Les Petits manage to weave an intricate web of shimmering and atmospheric folk-pop songs. At times gentle and drony, The Mighty Antlers of Song EP’s stands on the brink between folk-pop brilliance and epic instrumental. At times, the sparse instrumentation gets instrumentation gets annoying, and with a number of songs clocking in at or below one minute, and with no song over 4 minutes, there is little depth to this ten-song full-length, a combination of two EP’s. It is only when the two main participants are joined by a band, such as with “Boy Before the Woods (it’s a prequel)” that Les Petits really get the chance to show themselves off. Still, there’s plenty more on offer here than the depth of this release would initially suggest.
