Antarctica is a full album by The Never, accompanied by a 50 page illustrated storybook. Both the album and the book can be appreciated together and separately. The book was illustrated and written by guitarist Noah Smith.

"Confident, competent, and altogether charming."
-Delusions of Adequacy

"The blend of indie rock and chamber pop on The Never's concept album Antarctica is always grand but never grandiose: Every note is deployed in the interest of making the melodies as unforgettable as possible."
-Brian Howe, The Independent

"There's something instantly endearing about a band that intentionally bucks trends. The inherent bravery required to step apart from the pack can be irresistible, especially when the music by the band in question is top-shelf quality."
-Billboard

"The CD is fantastic—it’s poppy and orchestral in all the right places."
-Pop Matters

"[The Never] had their go at a concept album, and, not only do they nail the mark, they’ve practically reinvented the idea."
-Discorder

"Smith is an unheard of triple threat in rock: singer songwriter, children's author and illustrator."
-Creem Magazine

"If you are not moved one way or another by Antarctica, you are not human."
