The Antlers Take-away Show: “Two/Epilogue”

Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of my favorite albums in an attempt to come to terms with my top ten list of 2009.  Today The Antlers’ Hospice has not only been on heavy rotation, but i’ve also been looking quite a bit into the lyrics (the mystery of the hushed vocals make it almost necessary to find the lyrics online).  The album has had a good grip on me all day…and then some.  So it was quite apropos when i was watching a Phoenix take-away show, that I realized The Antlers’ show was put up just 9 days ago.

To say this album is heavy is an understatement, but well worth the emotional investment.  Possibly my Meadowlands of 2009.

The first video is their hauntingly acoustic version of “Two” transitioned into “Epilogue”:

Second is an eery rendition of “Shiva” in an old doll repair shop:
