Good point. From listening to both albums back-to-back, I did get a more mature feel from the instruments on Wildlife, and progression is always great in my book. Even the lyrics take a more mature tone on this LP. Instead of griping about relationships (I don't think I heard "dear", "darling", or "lover" once on it), Wildlife is more about the decay of his hometown and the people around him and how it compares to his current well-being, his own ambiguous loss and struggle for meaning. Jordan's use of detail throughout the album is really astounding, especially on tracks like King Park and St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Blues, which are two of my favorites.

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way in some respects. As far as the instruments go, I loved them more than the last LP. I've heard some people bitching about the lack of riffs and whatnot, and while I somewhat agree, I kind of dig it more. All together, I think it was mixed great. Everything instrument sounds perfect. However, I actually felt that Wildlife was not as overly-emotional or overly-dramatic as Somewhere Between... But that's not to say that the stories on this thing aren't amazing, because they are. Like you said, some of the passages Jordan spews out are spine-chilling. The last half of King Park...holy shit.

This gay comm college in fayetteville. but yeah, if my useless shit was valuable, i'd so sell it, haha. but yeah, i'm applying for jobs and stuff, so we'll see. The show was in Raleigh at King's Barcade, not a bad place at all. Carrboro's always got great stuff going on, and--if I lived closer to Asheville--I'd probably LIVE at the Orange Peel. Sooo many great bands I like end up there.

Haha, don't be too jealous. School's a huge hassle and money is...kind of absent. So it's more of a wish list than anything :( But yeah, The Antlers were SO fantastic. I had a blast.
