The Antlers – Green To Gold

The Antlers have announced their first new album since 2014’s ‘Familiars’. The new album is due out March 26, 2021. They also released “Solstice” today, which is the Brooklyn band’s new single off the upcoming album. 

In the fall the band released two new songs, “Wheels Roll Home” and “It Is What It Is”, and both will be on ‘Green to Gold”. 

In a statement about the new single the band’s lead singer, Peter Silberman, said:

“Solstice” is a flashback to the infinite days of peak childhood summer, innocent barefoot hikes, staying outside all afternoon and late into the evening, well past it being too dark to see. But it’s remembered from the vantage of a present day that feels unbearably long rather than joyously endless. It’s an invocation of those simpler times, an attempt to conjure the lightness of youth, before life got so damn complicated.”

Regarding the new album Silberman said:

“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. 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.
