With charming percussive intricacies and precision, Antistatic draws the audience into a trance-like state of nodding rhythmic momentum. The Copenhagen-based instrumental trio released their debut album on the legendary Cuneiform Records last year, and now they are ready to envelop ALICE in repetitive rhythmic love this September.

Antistatic consists of Søren Høi (drums), Mads Ulrich (guitar), and Laust Moltesen Andreassen (guitar). The Copenhagen-based trance rock band came into being in 2019 and quickly garnered attention on the underground scene with their distinctive expression and technical complexity. With a lineup of two guitarists and a drummer, Antistatic creates a trance-inducing fusion of minimalism, ambient, and metal, where classical rock instrumentation is turned inside out and riff-based structures are abandoned in favor of hypnotic, repetitive drum passages, allowing both the audience and musicians to sink deep into the rhythms.

Since 2019, Antistatic has only moved forward, releasing their debut album “Relics” on the legendary American label Cuneiform Records at the beginning of 2024. On the album, Antistatic explores rhythm, patience, and musical hierarchies with equal parts curiosity and intention. The precision and complexity of the band’s carefully assembled rhythms might suggest that loopers and drum machines played a role in the creation of “Relics,” but the album’s trance-inducing tracks are solely performed by the band’s three members with meticulous precision and rhythmic love. Antistatic must be experienced live, and you have the opportunity when they take over ALICE this September.
