Recorded over the course of nearly two years in an apartment in Brooklyn, NY.

"One of the most beautiful and moving works I've heard in a long, long time. Just astonishing." -NPR's All Songs Considered (link)
"Hospice is a skyscraping blend of the ambient and the anthemic, a record that swings for the bleachers at a time when it's fashionable to bunt." -Pitchfork(link)
"A concept piece populated with slow-motion feedback cyclones, melodies lifted from nursery rhymes, cavernous loud/soft shifts, and lyrics fixated on life’s little themes: love, death, and guilt." -The Onion's A.V. Club (link)
"A profound meditation on love and loss." -Flavorpill(link)

Last night was literally amazing, you sounded absolutely amazing, so beautiful through your entire set. It was fantastic.
Afterwards getting about fifty signatures was also amazing, when Peter told me he liked my jumper it instantly earned the role of my favourite jumper and am now currently wearing my signed t-shirt.
I am so looking forward to seeing you again and for your new album, i'm already excited for them both.
Wow... you got recommended by a friend and; although I admit somewhat shamefacedly; I hadn't heard of your band before, I'm glad I found out about you :)
It's hard to define your music in one word but I would say fragile, fresh and ethereal (with an odd ironic touch now and then). "Bear" is nice but "Kettering" is a real gem of a song.
In other words, serendipity was more than welcome this time :)
