• Tipp: The Antlers - Hospice

For the past few months I have lived in a very lonely world, one in which I am one of a handful of people that has been permitted to hear the new album from The Antlers and have almost no one to rave about it with! Thankfully the world I have resided in is about to come to an end as The Antlers have finally set a release date for the tremendous Hospice. To put my feelings for this record into relative terms; had it been released last year this would have given Deerhunter some serious competition for my top spot. Now with an early 2009 release it will spend most of this year in head-to-head competition with Animal Collective and I truly believe it stands a solid chance at trumping the fantastic Merriweather Post Pavillion! Yeah, those are powerful words.
You guys will get your chance to weigh in on this debate on March 3rd when The Antlers will self release Hospice via digital outlets and CD's (no word on any vinyl output, though my fingers are crossed!). There will also be a chance to celebrate the release of the record somewhere in Brooklyn the same week as the release and details of that event will be published on this site in the near future! For now The Antlers have decided to treat all of you with another track from Hospice which will accompany the already released and still wildly brilliant "Two". So please enjoy the track below and prep yourself for a really great album from your new favorite band! poptartssucktoasted.blogspot.com
