Album Intro：
'The sound would have you believe he's being backed by a super group made up of members of Arcade Fire and Grizzly Bear.' -- Quick Before It Melts
At only twenty-one years old, this is Peter Silberman's fifth release, though only his second under The Antlers moniker. After moving to Manhattan last year, he set up a cramped, makeshift recording studio in his apartment and set to work on what would become The Antlers' first proper LP, Uprooted, exploring claustrophobia and sleepwalking against a fuzz-folk backdrop. He spent 2006 performing throughout his new home in support of the album, and in Fall 2006, sprawled his equipment on the floor and set to work on In the Attic of the Universe, a concept EP in which he ups the instrumentation to introduce a full rhythm section, Moog, accordion, piano, and a host of others. The result is a sound that revolves around swelling ambience and climactic explosions in the vein of Arcade Fire and Sigur Rós alongside Silberman's voice, a sort of cross between Jeff Mangum and Jeff Buckley. Recently, The Antlers expanded into a full band, with Nick Shelestak on guitar, keyboard, and laptop; Justin Stivers on bass and backing vocals; and Michael Lerner on drums. Everybody does handclaps.
