Twenty-one-year-old Peter Silberman will release his fifth studio album In The Attic Of The Universe, for free on his website under his moniker, The Antlers. The new effort was recorded in his cramped Manhattan apartment and outside the farmhouse he grew up in and features an array of instruments (all played by Silberman himself), including a full rhythm section, moog, accordion and piano (both traditional and toy). "I've been recording on my own since high school, so I think sometimes it's out of avoidance of work I don't want to do," Silberman explains. "When your studio is where you live, it's really easy to let recording consume all your time and distract you from obligatory stuff." Currently unsigned, Silberman opted to release the digital-only album for free in hopes of getting his music out there in an easier fashion. "I definitely second-guess myself anytime I buy music I've heard of but never heard," he says, "so I think releasing it for free, at least early on, makes it more accessible." Silberman will put a band together to play locally before a tour this summer. As for future albums, he plans to emerge from his solo hole and collaborate with other musicians.
