Dream pop

I love The Antlers, cannot wait to see them at Laneway, it's going to be amazing. I learnt a little fact today that frontman Peter Silberman took the name The Antlers from the song Antlers by the Microphones. Interesting.

It was originally just Silberman in the group, but he gained two more members after releasing his second studio album In the Attic of the Universe, which is quite stunning, particularly the song Look!. The band released their third album Hospice in 2009, and it is amazing. Kettering and Wake are so slow-paced and their subtle build ups are so well done. I just adore listening to it, although not too much, because it can shift a mood from happy to rather subdued if done on to many occasions. 

Silberman hails originally from Brooklyn (the arguably home-base of indie-pop-genre) and he sites Okkervil River as a huge influence on him, in particular the album Black Sheep Boy, which is apparent when listening to Hospice, I can really hear it. 

Anyway, blah blah blah.... they're playing at Laneway - ohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah!

Here's a couple of my faavvsss

Big Love!
