“Brooklyn trio the Antlers go the way of Bon Iver with guitar-led, simplistic melodies and tales of pain. (Their 2009 release Hospice unravels the allegory of watching a loved one die of cancer.) The band departs from the indie-folk mold through its experimentation with more sound. The distortion, layered vocals, and languid keyboards may break your heart, but will also leave you with the impression that bitter winters yield hopeful springs.”

THE ANTLERS
"Hospice is a skyscraping blend of the ambient and the anthemic, a record that swings for the bleachers at a time when it's fashionable to bunt." - Pitchfork
"A concept piece populated with slow-motion feedback cyclones, melodies lifted from nursery rhymes, cavernous loud/soft shifts, and lyrics fixated on life's little themes: love, death, and guilt."
