Soon after I first heard Hospice, the breathtaking new album from the band The Antlers, I was shocked to learn that a number of labels had actually turned down opportunities to put out the record. It seemed criminal.

Today, we learned that The Antlers have finally been picked up by Frenchkiss Records, the label behind bands like The Hold Steady, The Dodos and Passion Pit. Hospice will be remastered and rereleased in August. Congratulations to the band. They really deserved it.

Here's my favorite song from Hospice. It's called "Kettering."
