The Antlers’ frontman Peter Silberman has revealed that the band are working on new music for the first time in five years.

The New York duo have released no new music since 2014’s Familiars. Now, Silberman has revealed to NME that The Antlers are working on new music which they plan to wrap up after they return from their tour.

“Before we’d been gearing up for these shows, Michael [Lerner – drummer] and I had been in the midst of working on a new record – a new Antlers record – and I put it on the backburner for a minute while we get ready to go on tour,” Silberman said. “We’re gonna be wrapping up these shows in the spring, and then get back to the record.”

He continued: “It’s been really nice to be working with [Lerner] again, and just be thinking about what an Antlers record means in 2019, 2020, 2021. It was one thing, and it becomes another – the more we imagine how it changes, while holding onto its identity at the same time, the more room there is for growth.”

The Antlers will next play at The Beverly Lounge in Kingston, NY on March 17.
