The Antlers announce first album in over four years, Blight
The Antlers – the recording project of Peter Silberman – have announced their forthcoming new album, Blight, alongside the release of its lead single, "Carnage".
“‘Carnage’ is a song about a kind of violence we rarely acknowledge — violence not born of cruelty, but of convenience,” says Peter Silberman. “Innocent creatures are swept up in the path of destruction as their world collides with ours, and we barely notice.”
The follow-up to 2021’s Green to Gold, the forthcoming album, Blight, asks many questions without offering easy answers. Over the course of nine new songs, Silberman reckons with our passively destructive tendencies – absentminded pollution, unwitting wastefulness, and the inadvertent devastation of the natural world.
Tracklist:
- Consider the Source
- Pour
- Carnage
- Blight
- Something in the Air
- Deactivate
- Calamity
- A Great Flood
- They Lost All of Us
Blight, will be released on 10 October via Transgressive Records, and is available to pre-order now.
