Awesome Band...The Antlers

  Been away for a bit...school is finishing up.  I haven't had a chance to post anything.  I did come across an awesome band, The Antlers.  Weird name, I know.

  I have a very eccentric taste in music.  At any one time my Ipod will have extreme metal, alternative rock, folk, rock, soundtrack,  anything that I like.  As I have said before, I think this stems from my playing the guitar.

Anyway, this band is awesome.  Very dark and depressing lyrics, but really unique.  They make me feel like I did the first time I heard "Funeral" by Arcade fire or the first time my uncle played "The Bends" by Radiohead for me.  I feel like this is going to be a special band for me.  The dual vocals (male and female) the intelligent songwriting (it really is weird, but catchy) and the instrumentation.

  I search all year for albums like this.  Albums that make me feel something.  I know that I am overexposed to music.  I listen to it constantly and dissect it (another affliction of being a musician).  This is not good, it sometimes prevents me from just enjoying the music.  But nonetheless, I think this is a really special band.  Check them out!

My favorite song so far...

Since I talked about them earlier here are two of my favorite Radiohead and Arcade Fire songs...


Remember when Radiohead used to rock?
