The Antlers release tender new song "Just One Sec"

The Antlers have released new song "Just One Sec" as the fourth preview of their first album in seven years Green To Gold.

After announcing Green To Gold with "Solstice" last month, The Antlers have returned with "Just One Sec", which will feature on their upcoming album alongside last year's "It Is What It Is" and "Wheels Roll Home" singles.

Lead vocalist Peter Silberman says of the new release, "This song is about the difficulty of escaping your reputation with someone you’ve closely known for a long time. The sentiment of "Just One Sec" is an experiment with temporarily dropping the story between the two of you, offering and receiving momentary forgiveness, and experiencing that freedom. The idea was born out of a meditation retreat we attended a couple years ago, and the instructions of one meditation that I found particularly powerful."

Green To Gold will arrive seven years after its predecessor - 2014's Familiars.

Expanding on the album, Silberman says, "Most of the songs on Green To Gold are culled from conversations with my friends and my partner. It’s less ambiguous about who’s speaking and who’s listening."

He continues, "I think the shift in tone is the result of getting older. It doesn’t make sense for me to try to tap into the same energy that I did ten or fifteen years ago, because I continue to grow as a person, as I’m sure our audience does too. Green To Gold is about this idea of gradual change. People changing over time, struggling to accept change in those they love, and struggling to change themselves. And yet despite all our difficulty with this, nature somehow makes it look easy."

"Just One Sec" is out now. The Antlers' Green To Gold album will be released via Transgressive on 26 March, and is available to pre-order now.
