The Antlers’ Peter Silberman announces debut solo LP

Peter Silberman, frontman of The Antlers, has revealed that his debut solo album ‘Impermanence’ will be out on 24th February via Transgressive Records.

As its title suggests, ‘Impermanence’ has been inspired by a time in Peter’s life where he began to think more about the temporary, following an injury in which he lost his hearing in one ear. As such, the record is more hushed, using minimal arrangements.

But, as Peter himself says in a statement, “the album goes beyond experiments in ambience. It traces the stages of healing, as I experienced them. The sequence mimics the challenges in facing unexpected obstacles, charting a circular course between pain and peace, in which both are passing phases.”

He continued: “Impermanence illustrates our uncertain world, where everything and everyone is a temporary participant. It provides no remedy for the unpredictable, but instead offers another way to think about changing circumstances. I hope it can provide some comfort to those of us grappling with transition, which is, undoubtedly, all of us.”

Peter will also be playing two dates at The Forge in London on 7th and 8th December. Tickets are on sale now.
