Today is the release date for The Antlers’ brand new and utterly brilliant LP, Hospice.

There’s really no reason why you shouldn’t go buy a copy of the album immediately at Insound for only $9.99. But if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go stream the entire album for free at Bandcamp.

I really can’t say enough about how good this album is. If you were stunned by the beauty and power of In The Attic of the Universe, well, Hospice beats it. Seriously.

And once you’ve listened to and purchased the CD, be sure to catch the band live on tour this month (including a show next Wednesday at the Black Cat here in DC). You’ll be glad you did.
