A lot has changed for Brooklyn-born quintet The Antlers since last year's breakout LP, Hospice. A concept album about the relationship between a hospice worker and a dying cancer patient, Hospice is an intense, atmospheric triumph of spirit, covering a vast range of emotion, that while carrying the weight of despair, is ultimately a story of survival. With an upcoming show at Boston's House of Blues (with the Editors, 2/18/10), frontman/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Peter Silberman found the time to discuss their unlikely album in a recent phone interview.
