Song of the Day: "Two" -- The Antlers

I just realized I did Biffy Clyro a great disservice by not including their music video in my last post for easier access. This will be a feature of this "Song of the Day" nonsense from now on, and it will be corrected at the end of this post.

The Antlers are one of those bands you only hear about if you take Pitchfork at their word, which is a risky proposition to say the least, but it turned out okay here. The Antlers are playing in Austin's SXSW coming up here soon, so if you have the opportunity you should definitely go give them a listen.

"Two" is off of their album Hospice, which is well worth picking up (other standouts include "Kettering" and "Bear", which may be the prettiest song ever written about abortion). It's today's song of the day because it is currently raining here in Arizona, believe it or not, and it happens to be a fabulous rainy day song. The lyrics are pretty heartbreaking if you listen to them, as well as mature and insightful. Really a great song.

Here's some Biffy for you, if The Antlers got you down:
