The Antlers   VCR (The xx Cover) covers

The Antlers stopped by WPGU to perform “Kettering” and “Bear” from their lauded Hospice LP, as well as a cover from another highly regarded 2009 LP. covering the xx‘s “VCR” sounds like the best thing in the world right now.

If this cover is any testament, I can confidently say that “VCR”was written to be sung by Peter Silberman, no disrespect to . You can catch beautiful, stripped down versions of “Kettering” and “Bear” over at The217. Download The Antler’s rendition of “VCR” below:

    I personally prefer the original, but this is great too. I would have loved to hear them cover Crystalized though

    His voice suits the song beautifully. I think the ideal recording of this track would be to take the original VCR instrumental and put the Antlers’ vocals over it.

      Yes! Can we get a DJ/remixer/splicer to do this already?
