the antlers

i've had this album on repeat for the last month. which is kind of demented because it's one of the most depressing albums this year. with a title like "hospice," you should know you're getting into trouble. the band pretty much covers all the topics: death, depression, inadequacy, abortion, cancer, abuse. not exactly light listening. but it's really, really good. the music is beautiful, almost like a soundtrack to your dreams/nightmares.

so if music has a way of overcoming your emotions, listen with care. but i highly recommend this album.

Maybe when I'm done depressing myself with the new Kings of Convenience album I'll get to depressing myself with this one.

i haven't listened to the new album by the kings, so you should take my opinion as uninformed (as usual), but i'm nearly positive that hospice is more depressing.
