Bands get their names from different sources and these days randomness seems to reign when choosing one. It’s common to not even ask yourself any more where a band’s name comes from, and sometimes funny lists do the job of ranking the most bizarre . Well, I wouldn't say that Cowboy Indian Bear should be on one of those lists, but at first glance it did make me think "why this triad?" All was forgotten after the first few seconds of listening to “Does Anybody See You Out?”, with its steady bass line followed [...]
![[Listen] The Antlers: "Crest" (Tricky Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4529966_lg.jpg)
Este año The Antlers puso a la venta un muy solido material titulado "Undersea", del que en realidad no les vine a dejar muchas cosas salvo el primer single que nos entregaron en forma de " Drift Dive ", asi que probablemente por este simple hecho no crean tanto en mis palabras pero, por esta razon he decidido venir a dejarles este remix que se dio a conocer el dia de ayer de "Crest", el cual esta hecho ni mas ni menos que por Tricky . Bueno, obviamente esta combinacion resulta muy atractiva desde el nombre, pero [...]
Submerging into the depths of past sorrows and loves had become second-nature for the Brooklyn trio after releasing 2009’s Hospice , the much-debated tale of an emotionally abusive relationship under the guise of a hospice attendant and a terminally-ill patient. Their debut was followed by something slightly less depressing, 2011’s Burst Apart , an album concerned with haunting dreams and a fear of moving on. With that distinction, Undersea transitions from its extremely depressing predecessors to a more stylized effort, contradicting its namesake by [...]
It's only been a day since we heard the first cut from The Antlers ' new EP Undersea, and now we have another new track from it courtesy of NPR . First it was the sublime "Drift Dive" and now we have "Crest" , a creaking, tumbling track that's backed by a 1930s-type horn section and bubbling aquatic synths. You can give it a listen below by skipping to the 01:03 (one hour, three minutes) mark. Undersea [...]
We don't really post music news on the site itself, instead we tend to announce anything we think is relevant on Twitter or Facebook, as was the case with The Antlers ' latest release. They dropped a teaser video a few weeks back for "something" and then revealed details of a new EP called Undersea , out on July 24th via Anti-Records after having split with label Frenchkiss. Today we get the first taste of music from the EP, the swaying, melodic, porous beauty of "Drift Dive" [...]
Port St. Willow : You may have heard the name before, or even a song or two when he performed with The Antlers last year, but you're not doing the music any justice or properly rewarding the confines of your soul if you don't give your undivided attention to his new album from start to finish. Granted, it won't be for everyone, but when you can bring together the untouchable atmospherics of Sigur Rós with the heartbreaking, contemplative, and soaring finesse of The Antlers , it means you're on [...]
Created as a collaborative effort between Swan Palermo (of Pair Of Arrows ) Antler (Jason Collins) and Feldt (Ryan Beck), "Heart Murmur" was originally released to coincide with Valentine's Day, but we offer it here now free to download as a belated box of chocolates, yet definitely not stale! TThis track was written and arranged by all three, with lyrics by Swan . Both Feldt and Antler produced and engineered, with [...]

![[Best of 2011] Dave’s List](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3949253_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link The year in music that was/is 2011 marked a departure from the prior two in which this blog has been in existence. This in the sense that, as opposed to waiting for albums from bigger bands one could classify as a favorite, there were far more unanticipated discoveries. I often talk of expectations, but this year I had few. For this year end list, I whittled down the list of the year's albums slowly to include those [...]
![[Best of 2011] Reader Poll Results](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3947665_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Not unlike all of our lists, the entrants for our Reader Poll were all over the place. There were 28 different albums that received multiple votes, and 114 different albums were nominated overall. We’re only listing the ones with multiple votes, and there were 11 that received more than 2 votes. Surprisingly, the album that received the most votes in the Reader Poll didn’t receive any votes on any of our writers lists, which shows the volatility [...]
![[Listen] The Antlers: "Patentheses" (PVT Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3863564_lg.jpg)
Desde que vi el tracklist de este nuevo EP de The Antlers creo que lo que mas me llamo la atencion fue este remix que se estreno hace apenas unos momentos al mando de PVT (anteriormente conocidos como Pivot, pero de eso ya tiene rato) y es que en parte se debe a que ya tenia mucho tiempo sin tener noticias sobre ellos pese a que el año pasado lanzaron un muy buen album titulado "Light Up Bright Fires" pero desde entonces no he sabido mucho de ellos en realidad. Pero bueno, este remix que le [...]
![[Listen] The Antlers: "VCR" (The xx Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3850072_lg.jpg)
El debut de The xx esta compuesto por tracks verdaderamente buenos y en verdad no entiendo por que cada vez que otra banda decide coverearlos siempre recurren a "VCR", digo, creo que ya es momento de que elijan otra pieza de The xx o aun mejor, creo que por ahora solamente nos queda esperar un poco mas para empezar a tener mas noticias sobre lo que sera su segundo album ya que como seguramente sabran, la semana pasada anunciaron que ya se encuentran grabando su nuevo material. Pero bueno, esta nota no se trata del todo [...]
