the antlers

I am becoming a fan of The Antlers' music. Check them out if you haven't already. "Hospice" is probably the saddest album ever written.

Starkly chronicling a man’s angst as he watches his wife expire from bone cancer in the Sloan Kettering Cancer Ward, the record is an epic poem — an abstract narrative pieced together through cutting stream-of-consciousness imagery with raw confessional lyrics. (...) Establishing a clear-cut protagonist and immersing the listener in what is essentially his nightmare, "Hospice" boasts a narrative ambition that is incredibly refreshing in today's let's-be-cute indie world.

Here is the video for their song "Two" (beautiful colors, btw):

My favorite song by them is probably "Kettering".
