The Antlers "debut" album, Hospice, is a sprawling, disjointed, potent record with flourishes 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 previous solo efforts, The Antlers established 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--develops into something astonishing, sad, and soaring.
