I’m going with Derek to see The Antlers perform live tonight. I can’t even breathe for thinking about it. This music is so beautiful and sad and rich – and it makes me cry. If you haven’t fallen in love with The Antlers already, you should heavily consider it. The album Hospice is an epically sad journey, the telling of the loss of a loved one to cancer. Fiction or not (fiction), it’s deeply touching. Here a couple of the songs that I’ve been stuck on lately as well as a beautiful takeaway show filmed in a pupet shop in Paris.

They make me think of this post from earlier last year about The Natural History of Teddy Bears.
