Antlers, The - Hospice (Vinyl)

The Antlers - Hospice (Vinyl)

Though singer/guitarist Peter Silberman had previously released two solo works under the moniker of The Antlers, 2009's Hospice represented the full-length debut as a trio rounded out by drummer Michael Lerner and keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci. An elaborate song cycle dealing with life, death, and all the in-between, the album earned rapturous praise while also striking a deep chord in a generation of listeners. NPR's Robin Hilton called it "one of the most beautiful and moving works I've heard in a long, long time. Just astonishing."

In honor of the album's 10th anniversary it's been newly remastered and pressed as a colored 2LP-set with deluxe artwork and packaging courtesy of the album's original artist, Zan Goodman.
