The Antlers


Brooklyn folkies The Antlers released their album ‘Hospice’ late last year to almost blanket praise including coming 37th in Pitchfork's albums of 2009. The intricate strummed guitars and Peter Silberman's trembling voice gives melancholy pathos to Hospice's conceptual tale of pain and death. Despite the themes, the music reaches a pitch that's almost celebratory.
