The Antlers - Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out

The Antlers' new album Bursting Apart has been streaming over at NPR's music blog recently, and it is excellent. Hospice was one of my favorite records of 2009, but I couldn't get through it without danger of some sort of self-harm. This record has the same sort of scope without being a concept album, and with much less in the way of terminal illness and existential dread. "Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out" is the lead off single, and it's startling in the same way Radiohead's "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" was - it seems to be about partying, but surely these guys don't party, right?
