Well, I certainly wasn't expecting this - after a six-year hiatus, Brooklyn's The Antlers, one of my favorite bands of the 2005-2015 split decade, drop a new song, in the middle of a pandemic at that.
The signature Antlers sound is very much present, from Peter Silberman's sweet vocals to the folkish instrumentation to the all-round empathic vibe. Why they waited so long and why they decided this was the time to release new music remain complete mysteries to me.
According to the music blogs (the real music blogs - you know what I mean), a new Antlers album is in the works, although no release date has been announced yet.
Every year there is great music been performed and recorded somewhere by someone, even during relatively infertile periods of creativity and artistry. I point to The Antlers new release as evidence of this maxim.
