Anteloper

anteloper was realised when drummer-turned-singer Stuart Grey found himself in need of a bed and guitarist (and former band mate) Ped Teale offered him his spare. Late night song writing ensued, joined by fellow house dweller Shantha Roberts on organ & synth (and a dog and a cat).

Bass player Charlie “long” Higgs (of Jessica's Brother) was enticed through the door having heard rumours of this productive happening gathering pace, and he seduced dummer Jonny Helm (also of Jessica's Brother and The Wave Pictures) with the oddly anteloper-shaped rhythms that were forming, completing the family.

anteloper make smart indie with sensitive synths and obstinate keys; percussive guitar patterns, dexterous bass, nimble drums, unpredictable vocals. Sometimes in line, sometimes out of its natural rhythm; the resulting sounds are ominous, soaring, witty and haunting.

In March 2018 anteloper got snowed-in making their debut EP (released on 26 September 2018) at a recording studio in Somerset. You can listen to Caper from that EP now.
