The Antlers Join Death Cab For Cutie On North American Tour

Brooklyn avant-moodists The Antlers will be joining Death Cab For Cutie for a series of North American live dates beginning this April. The group will be playing in support of the acclaimed new album Familiars.

Familiars is the latest genre defying work from The Antlers. Pitchfork described them as “a band that continues to reward those listeners who give them the attention their elegant, secretly weird music deserves…” adding “Against all odds, they’ve become one of the most interesting indie rock bands working.” The record was recorded, engineered and produced by the band in their Brooklyn studio and mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Beach House) at DNA Downtown Studios.

The Antlers are Peter Silberman, Darby Cicci and Michael Lerner. Silberman founded The Antlers in 2006 as a solo project and released two bedroom-recorded LPs before enlisting Cicci and Lerner to round out the group. As a trio they recorded and released 2009’s breakout Hospice and Burst Apart, as well as the 2012 EP Undersea.

ACCLAIM FOR THE ANTLERS “The Antlers magnify private sorrows to overwhelming scale, creating grand anthems.” - The New York Times

“Ever more sure-handed and ambitious in its arrangements, the band crafts gorgeous backdrops for Silberman…” - NPR Music

“Familiars finds the Antlers on a new, magnificent level of heavy songwriting.” - Rolling Stone

“It’s safe to say that the group has reached a point in their career where they are largely peerless…This is no longer a band that is finding their voice, but one that has found it” - Consequence of Sound

“They’ve only moved further toward thoughtful grandeur…” - Stereogum

“One of 2014’s strongest releases” - PopMatters
