cover song you need to hear now

It's spooky, ethereal and would probably soundtrack a haunted carousel just dandy:

Nothing Matters When We're Dancing (Magnetic Fields cover) - The Antlers

The post in which I finally listen to the Antlers

Despite the fact that Pop Tarts Suck Toasted has been telling me to listen to this band for the past oh 2 years, I must admit I am slow to the Antlers bandwagon. But all it took was one listen to "Two" and I was enthralled. It's all warm strummy goodness that swirls around an eliptical melody, like pixies around a campfire. I've yet to investigate the rest of their album Hospice (just re-released on Frenchkiss), and hate to get all Sarah Palin on ya, but you betcha, I will be!

If you haven't already, listen for yourself:

Two - The Antlers

Oh and hey there's a cartoon video too!
