Hospice- The Antlers

Comparable to Funeral by the Arcade Fire or For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver, this album was written, performed and recorded by one man in the depths of a two-year isolation. Tragedy often produces great art and this confirms that adage. The album is slow and quiet in general, with very few "rock" songs and many recurring parts and motifs. But it is this deliberate slow pacing that gives the album the distinctive cold sadness that makes it most memorable. Definitely one of the best albums of 2009, with something for everybody, this record is worth many thoughtful and emotional listens.
