Breathtaking and beautiful were the Antlers on the session Daytrotter posted yesterday. Chiefly singing tunes off their devastatingly raw album Hospice, the Antlers added depth to tracks through their live session — “Kettering,” Hospice‘s heartbreaking first track, for example, carries a punch heavier than that found on the album.
When performing “Two,” ringleader Peter Silberman sings with surprising eagerness vis-à-vis the biting lyrical tension and the overwhelming sense of surrender and hopelessness. That, I believe, is a defining moment for the Antlers.

This session was gorgeous!
I like these versions better than the album versions. I can actually hear what he's saying!
These guys are amazing. Their album is my favorite of the year. I agree w/ the guy above me.. I feel more attached to the Hospice tracks they played because now I can make out every lyrics. Beautiful songs.
These guys have had an amazing year!!! Check out http://drawingfrommusic.blogspot.com/2009/10/an…
