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. The Antlers 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 the xx. 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?
@Arnie – don’t forget to add a Biggie verse.
true dat
not as good as the original
I prefer the original too.
