The Antlers: (together) EP

The Antlers: <i>(together)</i> EP

The Antlers are definitely an album kind of band. While their songs can grab attention and provoke emotions from someone that’s only halfway listening, it doesn’t take much to suck you out of the dreary, melodramatic mindset they tend to bring up in people. It’s not like we’ve had to even consider it that much. Their two previous studio efforts — 2009’s moody and borderline depressing Hospice and a somewhat (but not much) more uplifting release this year with Burst Apart— have all been concise, focused efforts that feel like they’re establishing and holding a certain mood. But the Antlers’...  read more

Watch a New Video from The Antlers

Brooklyn’s The Antlers have released their dizzy new music video for "Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out.” The single comes from their fourth LP, Burst Apart, out now on Frenchkiss Records. Throughout the video, the gloomy trio delivers the grainy, haunting footage you might expect for the song, though it’s not likely anyone anticipated shots of spinning band members spitting out milk and hitting teeth with a hammer....  read more

The Antlers: Burst Apart

The Antlers: <em>Burst Apart</em>

It’s not often a band promises to scale down their dramatics on only their second label-released album. But then again, it’s not often a band starts a career with an immense, devastating concept record about a dying patient and a beckoning hospice worker as a metaphor for a soured, gothic relationship. After clearing that lodestone from his brain, it actually makes sense that The Antlers’ creative force Peter Silberman would want to take a breather. As such Burst Apart distances the band from the cataclysmic proportions of what got them signed, while remaining committed to their trademark atmospheric tension....  read more
