Origin: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Listen if you like/recommended to fans of: Efterklang, Deerhunter, Blueneck
Complex, heartfelt, atmospheric, beautiful. These are some of the many qualities that are so apparent and obvious in The Antlers latest effort. The lyrics tell the tale of a man losing a loved one to bone cancer, it's not exactly happy, shiney stuff, but it certainly is an album to be caught up in. "Kettering" officially starts the tale and perfectly sets up the atmosphere for the album which ultimately ends in tragedy. This atmosphere remains constant, but it ends before you know it. One of the finest concept albums in recent memory. Not for casual listening, and the faint of heart. Hospice is as fragile as life, yet it's as beautiful as anything you could ever possibly hear...
Track Pics: Kettering, Two, Wake
Final Score: 82%
