The band's songs are written and sung by Peter Silberman. Their music is performed by Silberman and Michael Lerner (drums). The lineup formerly featured Darby Cicci (trumpet, upright/electric bass, keyboards, synths, vocals). The band's instrumentation typically consists of vocals, electric guitar, keyboards/synths, drums and an array of other instruments including piano, horns, strings, and electronic elements.[1] Silberman has said that the band's name is taken from The Microphones' song "Antlers". As of 2021, the band has released six studio albums: Uprooted (2006), In the Attic of the Universe (2007), Hospice (2009), Burst Apart (2011), Familiars (2014) and Green to Gold (2021). History Early history (Uprooted and In The Attic of the Universe, 2006–2007) Main articles: Uprooted (The Antlers album) and In the Attic of the Universe Initially, The Antlers was the solo project of vocalist and guitarist Peter Silberman, who started recording solo concept albums in 2003. Silberman eventually renamed the project to The Antlers shortly after moving to Brooklyn, New York City in late 2005.[2] Silberman's first album, Uprooted, contained nine songs which he wrote and recorded himself. It was self-released in October 2006. The follow-up album In the Attic of the Universe was also written and recorded by Silberman. It was released for free online in March 2007 and also received a CD release in November 2007 on Fall Records. Cold War and New York Hospitals (2007) After the release of In the Attic of the Universe, Silberman recorded two EP's entitled Cold War and New York Hospitals, the latter featuring Michael Lerner and Sharon Van Etten as guests. Shortly thereafter, Michael Lerner and Darby Cicci came on board transforming The Antlers into a collaborative group. Hospice (2009) Main article: Hospice (The Antlers album) The Antlers’ third full-length album, Hospice, marked the beginning of the project's shift from Silberman's solo project into its full-band incarnation, featuring significant contributions from Lerner and Cicci, as well as guest vocals by Sharon Van Etten.[3] The band self-released the album in March 2009, selling out all of the quantities in stock. They later signed with New York City-based label Frenchkiss Records, who released a re-mastered version of Hospice on August 18, 2009.[4] Silberman has described 'Hospice' as the story of an emotionally abusive relationship, told through the analogy of a hospice worker and a terminally-ill patient.[5] The album received critical praise for both its narrative and musicianship, and has since been listed on several "Album of the Year" lists.[6] The artwork for the album was designed by Zan Goodman. Burst Apart and (together) EP (2011) Main article: Burst Apart In 2011, The Antlers released their fourth studio album Burst Apart on May 10 through Frenchkiss Records in the United States and on May 9 through Transgressive Records in the UK, Europe and Japan. The album was met with mostly positive reviews from musical publications and was regarded as a successful growth from their previous release ‘Hospice’.[7][8][9] The record received praise from well-regarded publications such as New York Times, The Guardian, Under The Radar, and Pitchfork who gave it the endorsement of their ‘Best New Music’ category. The artwork for Burst Apart was designed by Darby Cicci and Zan Goodman. On November 22, The Antlers released an EP entitled (together). The 8 song EP consists of remixes, and alternate versions of songs from ‘Burst Apart’. The EP features collaborations with a number of different artists including Bear in Heaven, Neon Indian, and Nicole Atkins. Along with the alternate versions from Burst Apart, the EP also features a cover of The xx's "VCR", a remix by PVT, and a new song featuring Cicci on vocals. The artwork for this EP was designed by Darby Cicci. Undersea EP (2012) Main article: Undersea (EP) On July 24, 2012, The Antlers released a four-song EP entitled Undersea on ANTI- in the US and Transgressive Records in the UK/Europe. This 4 song EP has been described by the band as an imitation of "the serenity of drifting off to sleep or sinking to the bottom of the ocean."[10] The record received widespread critical acclaim, with Pitchfork stating that the band's "mutually reliant interplay has never been stronger than it is here."[11] Darby Cicci designed the artwork for the EP. Familiars (2014) Main article: Familiars (album) The band's fifth full-length studio album entitled Familiars was released on June 17, 2014 via ANTI- in the US and Transgressive in the U.K./Europe. The album was recorded and produced by the band in their Brooklyn based studio, and mixed by Chris Coady. On March 31, 2014, after releasing a cryptic video teaser the week prior, the band announced the release of the nine-track album along with a music video to the album's first single "Palace". The video was directed by Hana Tajima. Darby Cicci designed the artwork for the album. Familiars received rave reviews from publications such as Rolling Stone, who commented that "Familiars finds the Antlers on a new, magnificent level of heavy songwriting."[12] Many critics alluded to the growth of The Antler's artistic approach on the album. MOJO called the work "another existentially-minded beauty...turning agony into something approaching ecstasy." Loud and Quiet commented on the record's success: "Slow-burning, poised and richly beautiful... The Antlers have been responsible for a handful of the most soul-shifting moments in guitar-based indie rock over the last few years, and this should see the band cement their place in the genre's upper echelons."[13] Hiatus (2015–2019) Shortly after the release of Familiars, Silberman experienced hearing loss. He was unsure he could continue making music, and left Brooklyn in 2015 to a cabin in upstate New York to record a solo album, entitled Impermanence, which was released in 2017.[14] The Antlers went on a hiatus. However, in 2017, the band denied rumors that they had broken up, writing, "While we don't have immediate plans to make new music, we'll surely be back when the time is right."[15] Hospice reissue and anniversary tour (2019) On March 8, 2019, The Antlers reissued Hospice via Frenchkiss/Transgressive. The reissue was pressed on double white vinyl and featured updated artwork and packaging from artist Zan Goodman. The same year, The Antlers embarked on a 10th anniversary tour, playing the album in its entirety. However, Silberman's health concerns led them to perform acoustic versions of the songs during intimate shows in smaller venues. It was the band's first live performances since 2015. The tour officially marked the departure of multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci.[16][17] Green to Gold and Losing Light EP (2021) Main article: Green to Gold (album) The band's sixth studio album Green to Gold was released on March 26, 2021 by ANTI- in the US and Transgressive in the U.K./Europe.[18][19] On November 16, 2021, the band announced 2022 tour dates and released an EP titled Losing Light, which features reimagined versions of four songs from Green to Gold.
