Hey guys, In the Attic of the Universe is their best album

almost everything about Hospice sounds awful on paper, but it’s a gd mastapiece. Makes it easy for people to say “SEE?? His voice is stronger here, the melodies are more apparent, the production is more crisp....” but in the grand scheme of things none of that really applies to Hospice being superior. It just... is. It just works.

Whoa, top 10? I'll listen to it again. Not a lot jumped out at me after 1 listen besides the closer. Their albums take time for me usually -- I thought familiars was boring for a good year or so

I could try to break it down more granularly and say “the trumpets which finish Sylvia give it this sense of release, as if she’s gaining acceptance for her mental state.” Or how the general timidity of his voice is absolutely perfect for the musical setting. Or how amazing and dense the atmospheric synths on tracks like “atrophy” are. Or how well implemented the shorter tracks, such as thirteen, are. But even that just scratches the surface. And it almost feels wrong to try and break that album down, it feels as if it works as a backdrop. Not putting too much stock into the specific tones and instrumentals, or even general structures of the songs, just letting it wash all over you.

I also have mad respect for albums that don’t shy away from difficult topics. Guess that makes me edgy 🤷♀️

it’s such a subdued album emotionally and audibly that some of the simplest lines and deliveries “hurricane thundercloud” “we played charades up in the Chelsea” are so perfectly memorable. I’m not always a lyrics guy, but these are good fucking lyrics.

And each step was far apart
And far away from steps before it
And the air was getting thinner
Until I couldn't breathe at all
And if I happened to look behind me
There were miles and miles of stairs
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
But I knew that it was there
And on the last step I was dizzy
Because there were stairs in all directions
But I found another door
And through the door there was the attic
Without old clothes, without a ceiling
Everything had opened wide
Into the jaws of something bigger
And suddenly I saw that I was
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof
Finally, it had found me: the answer, the feeling, and the truth
That I'm small
That I'm small
That I'm small
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball

i really wore out hospice back when it came out - it was like my fave album ever back then - and when i came back to it recently i kinda expected some of the lyricism/very overt themes to be cringy in hindsight but it really wasn't! holds up surprisingly well
to your point noler i think some of the more atmospheric tracks like 'atrophy' or 'thirteen' have aged remarkably well, the production is so gorgeous that even if i don't feel like listening to YOU'RE ANNNNNNNNGRY AND HUUUUUUUUUURTING MEEEEEE there's still a ton to latch onto

This album makes me think of that blackadder episode where percy is so happy he made a nugget of purest green, but it ends up being completely worthless.

that album is lovely, and all of you got it wrong, Hospice is objectively the best Antlers album.

I think most people agree on that, except sowing and those who prefer familiars
