The Antlers CD Release Party Mercury Lounge 8/21/09




The Antlers played their second CD release party at the Mercury Lounge. This time it was a sold-out show for the Frenchkiss Records re-release of Hospice. The band's trio (made up of frontman -guitarist singer Peter Silberman (not Josh as L Magazine misidentifies him), Darby Cicci on keyboards and drummer Michael Lerner) were pretty tight from all the touring they've been doing. They did an excellent job converting the album's material to live instrumentation with the delicate nuances of guitar textures and complex crescendos. They played tons tunes off Hospice (read our LP review here). The shy and lovely, Sharon Van Etten came out to sing on a few tunes. I'll post some video soon. Going to bed now it's late . . . Nigh Nigh!
