NPR Gives The Antlers The Video Treatment, Spinner Streams Hospice

 
Neither of which are as prestigious as the newly bestowed Tripwire award for “least bland band that NPR has gotten behind since Wilco”. With that glittering praise in mind, we highly recommend checking out NPR’s just-posted live set from The Antlers at The Black Cat in D.C.  If that 20 minute video doesn’t sate, you can also check out a stream of The Antler’s new album, Hospice that Spinner is hosting for this week.  And if neither of those sate, you can catch one of the Antler’s tour dates, reposted after the jump. The Antlers Tour Dates: 06-26 New York, NY – Soundfix Presents @ Rooftop Films 07-15 Indiapolis, IN @ My Old Kentucky Blog Presents at The Vollrath 07-16 Iowa, City, IW – The Mill 07-17 Madison, WI – Madfork @ The Terrace # 07-17 Chicago, IL – Pitchfork Festival 07-21 Detroit, MI – Magic Stick * 07-22 Toronto, CAN – Horseshoe Tavern * 07-23 Montreal, CAN – Petit Campus * 07-24 Providence, RI – Jerky’s * 07-25 ...
