The Antlers – the beloved group and recording project of Peter Silberman – have announced their highly anticipated new album, Blight, arriving via Transgressive Records. It is their first new studio album in over four years. Blight asks many questions without offering easy answers. Across nine new songs, The Antlers’ founder and chief songwriter Silberman takes account of our passively destructive tendencies – distracted pollution, unwitting waste, and the inadvertent devastation of the natural world. But despite its heavy themes, Blight is far from a punishing listen. With its adventurous arrangements and sustained momentum, it plays more like an iridescent odyssey.
