The Antlers - Hospice
7.7/10
Hospice is a record that fluently moves throughout the 10 tracks like a melodramatic, hazed induced opera. The Brooklyn band have taken "the best" parts or "moments" that other shoegaze and post-rock bands have produced in their own records. Hospice sounds like a watered down, depressing Broken Social Scene album mixed with vocals that sound like Win Butler, the lead singer of the Arcade Fire. It is clear that the band wants to tell a story with their debut album. The first track starts with "Prologue" and ends with "Epilogue" and is about addiction, illness, confusion and paranoia, death and rebirth. The album as a whole is technical and has its moments with powerful lyrics such as in the song "Atrophy" and bright songs like in "Two".
Best Tracks: Two, Bear, Sylvia
Recommended
