I first saw The Antlers at Monolith when they were touring Hospice. The album is lovely but incredibly depressing. Their set was terrific though and I was disappointed to miss their first Vancouver appearance as I was out of town. Fortunately they finally made it back to Vancouver on their tour for Burst Apart. Their set was fantastic. I always find it amazing how different (and sometimes better) songs can sound live compared to on the album. It's definitely a sign of a great band if they are able to do that and its why I love going to shows.
