   About The Antlers
BIOGRAPHY:
The Antlers began with Peter Silberman, recording songs in a kitchen in Manhattan and outside a farm somewhere else where nothing moves in the winter. Now, The Antlers fluctuates between solely Peter Silberman and his bandmates Darby Cicci, Justin Stivers, and Michael Lerner, recording in a bedroom in Brooklyn and an island somewhere else where nobody lives until the summer.

In The Attic Of The Universe (2007) [Fall Records]

THE ANTLERS FUND:
As you may or may not know, much of what I release is free. I love operating this way, but your contributions could help us tour and make more records and all that wonderful stuff. If you can, please make a donation below, AND if you include your address I'll send you a CD including this free music, accompanied by some handmade packaging and artwork.


Working on a new album. Been working on it for a long, long time. Follow the progress at the blog:
Hospice




Most recently, I recorded a free EP called New York Hospitals.
DOWNLOAD IT HERE.


Liner Notes for New York Hospitals:

The New York Hospitals EP came about rather unexpectedly. Two covers from New York-ish bands from around 1999 surround an original, entitled "Sylvia (An Introduction)", intended to introduce the focus of the soon to be completed Hospice LP. Sharon Van Etten contributed vocals to "Nothing Matters When We're Dancing" and "Tears Are In Your Eyes", and Michael Lerner unknowingly drummed on the same tracks (I hijacked a part he recorded for Hospice). It was recorded in Watcher's Woods in Brooklyn in 2008.






some press for In The Attic Of The Universe:

"Silberman pegs Eluvium and My Bloody Valentine as influences, but if he keeps making records like Attic (he has five so far), he’ll be counting the influenced soon."
-Time Out NY

"At eight songs in not quite 27 minutes, In the Attic of the Universe packs in more melodic ideas than many similar bands are able to stretch into an entire career."
-Allmusic

"In The Attic Of The Universe is a living, breathing being. The bass drum provides a heartbeat, acoustic guitar is its backbone, and plinky keys are its flashing eyes. Each track's unpredictability imbues the creature with a kind of mystery, an assurance that, no matter how carefully you listen, you will never fully comprehend it...In less than half an hour, it turned my day around; just imagine what it might do to yours."
-Soundcheck Magazine

"This album came out of nowhere. And it's instantly conquered many other albums that are fighting for spots at the top of my favorite albums of '07 list...This one sounds so full and lush and all those sort of words, but still gentle and delicate. And I am still hearing Neutral Milk Hotel and Antony & The Johnsons all over the place, while he is also continuing to carve out his own unique sound...Have I ever explained that one of the qualities of an album that I value the most is the ability to listen straight though and not skip a song? This album has that quality."
-The Battering Room

"I'm loving the fuller sound of the EP, with a full rhythm section, piano, and synthesizers it creates a much larger sound to wrap around the talents of his singing"
-Pop Tarts Suck Toasted

"As a music blogger, you never know what to expect when you listen to all that new unknown music that comes into your inbox. Most of it leave you weary, but some knock the shit-biscuit out of you and leave you wondering about matters such as "so much beauty in the world", "incredibly tapped talents", "influences worn well" and "blog, like hell, my friend, blog!" Witness my story with the relatively unknown The Antlers (no wikipedia entry, google hit 6, incredibly fantastic music)."
-Kwaya Na Kisser

"...The sound would have you believe he's being backed by a super group made up of members of Arcade Fire and Grizzly Bear. "
-Quick, Before It Melts

I also recently recorded a free EP called Cold War. DOWNLOAD IT HERE.


some press for Cold War:

"Silberman sings like a timid Jeff Buckley over a wall of droning and bending noises and vocal melodies that challenge even my most elevated opinion of In Rainbows."
-I Guess I'm Floating

"I don't often find it appropriate to use the word "ethereal," but this is one time it really fits."
-Lost In Your Inbox

"Between [In The Attic Of The Universe] and Silberman's free-to-download Cold War EP, we've another act to reckon with for 2008."
-The Irish Times
