Milf hail from Buffalo, NY, and seem to combine the impenetrable melody of English shoe-gazing acts, most notably My Bloody Valentine, with the off-kilter guitars of the Dischord catalogue. Eschewing the tight song- writing of English bands like Ride or the Jesus & Mary Chain, Milf is rather more obtuse, free-form, sprawling.
As a result, what you think of antidope will probably depend on your patience. If you can wait through several minutes of droning for the Fugazi-esque nugget at the end of "georgia tucker," you'll have found a good addition to your collection. The Fugazi reference is not gratuitous, as antidope is certainly harder and more grating than aforementioned shoe- gazing acts. The vocal harmonies, too, sound much closer to Ian MacKaye and company than to the Boo Radleys.
