This weekend I listened to Burst Apart — the new CD by The Antlers — and was seriously impressed.
The Antlers are a New York-based indie rock band that offers sonic soundscapes, ethereal passages, and keyboard-heavy techno lite that puts the listener in a trance, which is a state of mind I particularly enjoy. Melodies are a welcome addition to bombastic background music, and The Antlers provide both.
The album’s final cut, “Putting The Dog To Sleep,” blew me away — I listened to it about 12 times in a row. Love it.
The band plays June 8 at The Loft in Dallas.
