I don't really know what this blog is, which doesn't help you at all I suppose. Ultimately, it's just a collection of things I find interesting, and my interests are varied. Politics, op-ed pieces, long form features, music, movies, television — I'll post it all. It won't all be great, but at the very least, what I post will be interesting. I promise.

The Antlers - Putting the Dog to Sleep

I loved the Antlers’ first release, Hospice. It was just so intensely personal and so meticulously crafted. When their new album, Burst Apart, was released a few weeks ago, I ignored it. Not because I don’t think they are a great band, but because I was worried the intensely personality that marked Hospice would be lost on this new release. How would they transition? How can you capture that energy, that magic, twice?

I can’t answer that question, but The Antlers probably could if you asked them. Burst Apart is everything I wanted and the song above is my favourite. It’s so sad and so perfect.
