The Antlers
Evolving from Peter Silberman's bedroom recordings to a fully realized band, for Brooklyn-based the Antlers, what started out as a solo lo-fi folk project, progressed quickly into a colossal-sounding chamber pop group. After self-recording a handful of albums in a kamikaze fashion -- Uprooted (recorded just before and after moving in 2007), The February Tape (recorded in a bathtub in an hour), In the Attic of the Universe (a single ambient song stretched into an album), and Cold War (an album with only acoustic guitar and vocals, recorded in a week) -- {$Silberm...[more]

'The Antlers' Hospice is a lullaby for the broken hearted. Peter Silberman's cracked but assured voice soars over rickety guitars, twinkling keys and understated horns through the course of these living, laughing, choking, crying songs.

"In the Attic" has the ramshackle feel of Neutral Milk Hotel's early home-recorded casse [ read more ]
