The Antlers previously announced a new album, Familiars, which they will be touring in support later this summer. Recorded at the band’s Brooklyn studio and mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Future Islands), the nine-track album will be dropping on June 17 via ANTI-Records. So far we’ve heard the slow, melancholic “Palace,” and today they’re sharing a new single for streaming called “Hotel.”
Whereas “Palace” sounded more in line with their 2012 Undersea EP, “Hotel” has the horns and warm bass of 2011’s excellent Burst Apart. It’s still slow with fading keys and smooth guitar, but “Hotel” picks up where the snappy “Parentheses” or lethargic “No Widows” left off. If it’s as good as their last two albums (and really, why would we have reason to suspect anything else), you’ll want to hop on that pre-order.
