"Birthed from the same SLC creative community that brought forth artists like Stag Hare, braeyden jae and Seven Feathers Rainwater, Skyler Hitchcox has been crafting trembling guitar-based drone compositions since the early-aughts under the name Silver Antlers. Sympathy Pain represents the truest and most distilled version of Skylerâs emotional heft. Striking a balance between death-to-crescendocore post-rock, static-filled droning and skyward guitar lines, Skyler is joined on keys by Cult Leader drummer Casey Hansen, imbuing these two compositions with living shadows and dead reflections.

Press:

"Avoiding the often unavoidable fragmentation often associated with split records, the songs here flow into each other with ease, transitioning organically and balancing each others sonic and emotional spaces while also providing a strong sense of pacing and direction throughout, the aural equivalent to a long walk in the woods at night; the sights, sounds, and smells constantly changing alongside the thoughts and emotional responses that provide them context." - Stone in Focus

"Shimmering guitars, gentle drones, and sparse drums make up the component parts of their two songs, that feel simultaneously sparse and yet so very warm and comforting." - The Sound Not the Word

"On Sympathy Painâs side, the emphasis resides more heavily on mood, with sprawling textures that recall some of the best of Stars of the Lidâs exceptional work. Stylistically, both draw from a variety of sources, ranging all the way from drone to classical to post-rock coming into the mix. Full of delicate textures everything feels so absolutely shimmering throughout the sculpted sounds" - Beach Sloth
