Morning Music Notes – If I Postpone My Tour, You’ll Hear New Songs

The Antlers have announced a brand spanking new album. It is their fourth album, and it will be called Familiars. It’s out on June 17, and follows up a couple of EPs that the band released since 2011’s Burst Apart.

The first video is for Palace, which is a slow, purposeful video for a song with the same characteristics. Check out the building track below.
