The Antlers - Hospice - Out Now



This album is the product of Peter Silberman’s period of isolation in New York.

On emerging he joined with Michael Lerner and Darby Cicci to form The Antlers and add the musical scape to his tragic story. It is a story of heartache and loss for a person suffering - and succumbing to - bone cancer, and it is told brutally and breathtakingly beautifully.

Silberman’s haunting vocals glide over ambient electronic sweeps and fragmented guitars. It is an excruciatingly brilliant album.
