"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)
"Hospice is a work of rare beauty and a watershed moment in The Antlers’ career."
-Tiny Mix Tapes (link)
"Hospice is at once the simplest and most immense album of the year."
-My Old Kentucky Blog (link)
"An album of constant depth"
-NY Press (link)
