Antonionian is the debut studio album by American multi-instrumentalist Jordan Dalrymple under the Antonionian moniker. [6] It was released on Anticon in 2011. [1] Music videos were created for "Into the Night" [7] and "The Ride". [8]
Nick Neyland of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.8 out of 10, saying: "This is an album that's all about feeling, of conjuring up a particular mood, where the words are an additional splash of color for the listener to decipher." [4] Glenn Jackson of XLR8R called it "electro-funk-leaning avant-pop". [2]
Nick Hanover of Spectrum Culture gave the album a 4.0 out of 5, saying: "Over the course of nine tracks, Antonionian's debut plays out like an Anticon sampler, with references to almost every path the label has explored in the past decade or so." [5] He added: "With Antonionian, Dalrymple may not have exactly come out of Doseone or Yoni Wolf's shadows but he's easily proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in his own right." [5] Daniel Levin Becker of SF Weekly said, "the album boasts the closest thing to honest-to-goodness songs we've heard from the Anticon camp in a long time." [9]
