Agreed. For me it's this > BA > Familiars > Hospice
But I know that's gotta be one of the least popular opinions out there

Damn I think I like this more than Hospice.

what's wrong with you people? this is a nice little album but hospice is more powerful in pretty much every way
|
| |
I can def see why that's the popular opinion, but this is just as powerful for me tbh. Pretty impressive for such a short album.

For me powerful isn't necessarily the right descriptor, but it's prettier, more imaginative, and covers a more expansive musical scope in half the runtime. Either way, this is a 5 for me while Hospice is a 3.5 or 4 depending on the day.

"it's prettier, more imaginative, and covers a more expansive musical scope in half the runtime"
disagree on all of these except for maybe the last point and that's just because hospice goes for perfect cohesion instead of 'expansive musical ideas'
what i mean by 'powerful' is that hospice constantly impresses me with its ability to bring me to my knees while this is indeed a pretty, spacious indie album with a couple of interesting ideas (which would be amplified on hospice) but that's pretty much it. i mean i get that you like this a lot and that's cool but 5'ing this while 3.5'ing hospice just doesn't make sense to me no matter how far you turn up your bias

Hospice brings more feels (its made me cry once).

Just finished my first listen, it was broken into two parts because I ended up having an unplanned lunch with friends midway through the runtime but I'm very impressed. Album draws influence from artists ranging from Cat Stevens to the Weakerthans to Jeff Buckley to Sigur Rós all while remaining its own thing.
This is stellar

Well it doesn't make sense to you because of your bias for Hospice ;) But without getting into a discussion that isn't productive, my point of view is that Hospice is super emotional (so I get that it's more powerful) but the music is less interesting and it's not as eclectic in terms of what it reaches for. Attic is almost (almost) too eclectic for its own good but it ties it together beautifully. Plus I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with space/time/existence, which there's at least 3 songs here that do nothing but postulate about that stuff.

I definitely hear the Weakerthans, but a more accurate comparison than Sigur Ros for me would be early Bon Iver, like some of the lesser known tracks on For Emma. Glad you loved this.

hospice has its own 'eclecticness' (is that the word?) too imo but oh well, i guess we both have our biases

@Sowing I do think the Sigur Rós influence is there, particularly coming from their more upbeat album Takk..., but I see where you're coming from with the For Emma comparison. Peter's vocals do have a bit of Justin Vernon in them, if not pitched quite as high.
This was my first Antlers experience, wasn't even planning on getting into them last week and now I'm pretty stoked to go through their discog.
