The Antlers released Green to Gold, their first album in seven years, back in March (order on tan vinyl), and they've reimagined four of its songs of Losing Light, a new EP that they've surprise-released today. You can stream it below.
"How would these songs sound if they were being reconstituted from memory fifty years from now, after decades of technological evolution, alongside analog and digital degradation? I began to consider how we reconstruct the past once we’re many years removed from it, with only scattered, decaying artifacts to reference," Peter Silberman says. "Following this premise of Green to Gold as if remembered from the distant future, we began to reassemble pieces of several songs in different iterations—the earliest versions and demos, pieces of the album versions, and newly-created recordings. To bring them all into the same world, we processed each of these elements in ways that would repeatedly age them backwards and forwards, as if being blasted into the past, then flung into the future."
Along with the EP, The Antlers have announced a 2022 tour, running in March and April in Europe and the UK, and May and June in North America. Unlike their last tour, the acoustic Hospice dates they played in 2019, the new dates will feature a full band. Aside from Silberman and Michael Lerner, it's unclear who the other members will be, but if it's the five-piece lineup they just debuted in Woodstock in October, one of the members will be Jared Van Fleet from Voxtrot.
The tour includes NYC dates at Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 3 and 4, a Los Angeles date at First Congregational Church on May 20, and more. Tickets for the whole tour go on sale Wednesday, November 17 at 10 AM local time, and you can see all dates below.
