The Antlers
In the age of the downloaded single, The Antlers had an unlikely hit with their 2009 concept album Hospice. The main storyline is about coming to terms with the death of a friend. But the music isn't what you'd expect – it's not morose and spare, it's big and lush. The Antlers have lightened up some, subject-wise, but their new album, Burst Apart, is still rich and complex. Kurt Andersen talks with the band's leader Peter Silberman and the band plays live in the studio.
