Release Notes

Hospice resonates on debilitating sonic and lyrical levels, from the hypnotic
harp and tension-ratcheting build of “Two” to the sing-or-sink choruses of
“Bear” and the speaker-rattling peaks of “Sylvia,” easily one of the year’s
most immediate epics. It’s here, amidst contrasting shards of ambient noise
sweeping strings and smoky horns, where The Antlers truly transcend their
singer-songwriter beginnings – a striking escalation of expectations first
hinted at on 2008’s New York Hospitals EP. The progression doesn’t end there
either. In a move that could be taken as the riff-raking extension of his
thorough guitar training (from the age of 6 ’til right before college)
“Atrophy” and “Wake” delve into sheets of distortion, subtle shades of soul
cicada-like effects and enough movements to fill an entire EP

For this release, The Antlers’ Technicolor-tinged trio take all of Hospice’s
songs – and three previous releases – in a completely different direction
jettisoning a note-for-note rendition of the record for “a massive sound”
doused in delay, reverb and unrehearsed chaos
