"Hospice is the critically acclaimed first full-length studio album by American indie rock group The Antlers, initially self-distributed by the band, though set for a remastered, CD/vinyl release via Frenchkiss Records on August 18. Vocalist Peter Silberman wrote the album after over 2 years of social isolation in Brooklyn, New York.

The album tells an explicit story (in first-person narrative) of a man losing a loved one to bone cancer and watching her die in the Sloan Kettering Cancer Ward while he is beside her. Memories, regret and grief occur throughout the album."
