The Antlers on the making of the 'Palace' video
eurydice by Cate Blanche June 18th, 2014

As part of their week-long takeover of the site, Peter from The Antlers shares images from the making of the video for 'Palace'.

"Back in cruelly cold March, Hana Tajima (@hana_tajima), Nick Principe (@portstwillow) & I found an abandoned housing development in the woods near the town in which I grew up. This deteriorating neighborhood was likely built in the 70s but never housed tenants.

Since then, several buildings have remained standing in the forest, where they’ve been looted, defaced, and partially destroyed, all while gradually decomposing on their own. A deafening silence lives in these stillborn structures now, and they emanate an unsettling peacefulness that seems to possess their visitors.

Here, Hana filmed our video for 'Palace', as Nick and I assisted and explored, treading lightly on floors that seemed ready to give out at any moment.

Below is a brief window into the days we spent in these haunted homes."


Familiars is out this week on Transgressive.
