The Antlers "debut" album, Hospice, is a sprawling, potent record with elements of noise-rock, lo-fi pop, and soft/loud wall-of-sound guitars. With drummer Michael Lerner and multi-instrumentalist Darbit Cicci joining singer Peter Silberman's previously solo efforts, The Antlers establish themselves as one of the most exciting indie-rock bands of the year. The fierce emotional and lyrical content of the record lays bare both fictional and autobiographical accounts of 23-year-old Silberman's isolation, frustration, and desolation. But the music's aural power--and Silberman's ever-reaching voice--results in something altogether astonishing, sad, and soaring.
Check out the video for "Two." And check out some other tracks here. This record will most certainly be among The D Man's Best Twenty Albums of the Year, so you may as well go pick it up and start listening.
