BIO
Sometimes you have to put yourself first, no matter how difficult that notion seems; no matter how much time and effort you’ve already put into this one person — the person who’s reduced your very being to its absolute core. Just ask Peter Silberman, the string-pulling founder of The Antlers, a solo project that suddenly went widescreen on the self-released Hospice LP (now receiving a proper widespread pressing through Frenchkiss). The first Antlers effort to feature two key permanent players — powerhouse drummer Michael Lerner and the layer-lathering multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci — it’s an album with a sound that’s actually as ambitious as its concept.
