Details of The Antlers’ forthcoming album

“Hey everyone-

We’re completely thrilled to finally share with you the details of our forthcoming new album, Burst Apart.  Finally!

We spent somewhere in the realm of 5 months recording it (although truthfully, we’ve been planning and sketching the record since we began touring on Hospice back in 2009).   We moved into our own recording studio in September 2010, and spent essentially every waking hour working on Burst Apart, producing the record ourselves, with Darby at the helm engineering.  We wrapped up recording this past January, and will be releasing this record to you on May 10 via Frenchkiss Records.  I can honestly say that I’ve never been more excited to have people hear something as I am with Burst Apart. 

Below is the tracklist, as well as the cover art, designed by the amazing Zan Goodman (who also designed Hospice’s infamous hands). 

01 I Don’t Want Love
02 French Exit
03 Parentheses
04 No Widows
05 Rolled Together
06 Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out
07 Tiptoe
08 Hounds
09 Corsicana
10 Putting the Dog to Sleep

And though the record’s not out until May, if you find yourself in Austin for SXSW this March, we’ll be performing Burst Apart in its entirety  at NPR’s show at The Parish, and mixing new songs and old at the Frenchkiss and Sennheiser showcases.  Dates and times below. 

See you very soon.

love always,
Peter
