The Antlers Hospice debut in 09 was a spine tingling, intense, thought provoking, impressive and an everlasting release. Hospice was a concept album regarding a hospice worker falling in love with a terminally ill girl, and their ensuing abusive relationship.
2011 The Antlers return, after recording a track for an American Express advert/campaign which also saw the work of Andrew Bird and Passion Pit (of which can be found here. The band have now announced details of their forthcoming release…
Burst Apart, the newest record is out May 10 via Frenchkiss in the U.S. and May 9 digitally/May 30 physically in the UK on Transgressive.
“We spent somewhere in the realm of 5 months recording it (although truthfully, we’ve been planning and sketching the record since we began touring on Hospice back in 2009). We moved into our own recording studio in September 2010, and spent essentially every waking hour working on Burst Apart, producing the record ourselves, with Darby at the helm engineering. We wrapped up recording this past January, and will be releasing this record to you on May 10 via Frenchkiss Records. I can honestly say that I’ve never been more excited to have people hear something as I am with Burst Apart.
Below is the tracklist, as well as the cover art, designed by the amazing Zan Goodman (who also designed Hospice’s infamous hands).”
