Kettering mp3 The Antlers, Daytrotter session
You all know of my love for The Antlers, right? I had such a blast chatting with them last year, just as their album Hospice was climbing the charts and getting known across the blogosphere. I told them then, back in September, that they would be on many, many year end lists that mattered. And they, whether in false modesty, or in honest uncertainty, shook their heads at me and just couldn’t see it happening. Darlings…. I have never been happier to be right.
Get out and see these two great bands on tour together:
