Antietam - Tenth Life CD - 05/10/11

One week from today, Antietam releases their eight studio album, Tenth Life, on CD! The album is now available for pre-order at Carrot Top Record's website.

Tenth Life Press:

"Boiling things down to a duel between gnarly ‘70s-flavoured proto-punk and new wave pop, this could be Antietam’s heavily-smudged answer to Television’s underrated Adventure, Patti Smith’s ragged Radio Ethiopia and Blondie’s tunefully sharp Parallel Lines." —Adequacy

"Tenth Life is another solid, memorable and crucial piece in a jigsaw-like canon that refuses to be finished without an age-defying fight."—Adequacy

"...this eighth studio album is packed with tight, smart, gritty, no-bullshit indie rock." —Cyclic Defrost

"Tenth Life is at once a continuation of the classic first-generation indie rock sound and – at its core – just an amazing guitar record." —Cyclic Defrost
