Antillectual – Pull The Plug

Antillectual’s acoustic EP, released May 3rd, 2009!

In between full length albums we like releasing concept EPs. Either with covers, in Dutch, or acoustically like the Pull The Plug EP. Very experimental for us in 2009. Benefit of the Doubt and Because We Can were previously released as normal versions, while these were the first (and only acoustic) appearances of The New Jew and The Hunt Is On, later featured as amplified songs on “Start from Scratch!”.

It was recorded with Nico of XPZ Sound in our rehearsal space of that time: Willem’s parents’ place. Yvo plays acoustic guitar in stead of bass, Riekus on (mellow) drums. It was released May 3 by our friends from Shield Recordings, No Reason Records and Sums Records. The original 3-way PINK artwork by Gijs van Amelsvoort; 200 PINK EPs, 300 black. A couple of years later we “re-released” 40 copies of the EP with mixed colored covers.

Belated apologies for dropping the bomb that we were “Pulling the plug” as a band on April 1st, 2009 when announcing this EP as an April Fools joke
