The Antlers are an American indie rock band formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2006. The band originally began as the solo project of Peter Silberman but expanded to a trio with the addition of Michael Lerner (drums) and Darby Cicci (keyboard, trumpet), who have both played a critical role in developing the band's expansive, ethereal sound. Over the years, The Antlers have garnered critical acclaim for their emotive lyricism and innovative sonic landscapes, seamlessly blending indie rock with ambient and dream-pop elements. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Hospice" in 2009 — an album that is both haunting and beautifully orchestrated, telling a story of terminal illness and emotional turmoil with intimate vulnerability.

Since "Hospice," The Antlers have continued to evolve their sound, releasing several well-received albums. Their most recent work includes singles like "Need Nothing," "Tide," "Rains," and the album "Green to Gold" in 2021. "Green to Gold" shows a lighter, more reflective side of the band compared to their earlier, darker themes. This album, along with its remixes and edits, demonstrates the band's ability to reinvent themselves while maintaining the core of what makes their music resonate with listeners: introspective lyrics, beautiful melodies, and an ability to capture the fragility of human emotion. Through their evolving discography, The Antlers have proven themselves to be not just musicians, but true artists, continually pushing the boundaries of indie music.
