Antithesis is an vinyl-only release of material from Keith Fullerton Whitman's archives that doesn't fit aesthetically with his upcoming Multiples studio album. The theme for the album is "ensemble works": a combination of instruments played by Whitman himself with no computer interaction. Each piece was recorded in one of the different apartments Whitman has rented since he has lived in Boston, U.S.A.

The first vinyl-only release on kranky, Antithesis is the second album Whitman has released under his own name. The first, Playthroughs, gathered good press for its computerized processing of improvised guitar. Antithesis broadens the instrumental and compositional base with Fender Rhodes piano, viola, guitar and percussion. The four tracks on the album verge from straight-up drone to what sound like lost krautrock classics.
