album review: the antlers - burst apart


The Antlers are a dreamy and mellow indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York fronted by Peter Silberman. Originally, the band was only a solo project of Silberman's, but after releasing an album under his own name he recruited two other members to constitute the group that they are today.
