The Antlers' highly anticipated new album Burst Apart is set for release on May 10, 2011 via Frenchkiss Records.
Recorded over the course of five months in the band's Bushwick, Brooklyn studio, Burst Apart follows on the heels of The Antlers' critically acclaimed 2009 recording Hospice, which was named "Best New Music" by Pitchfork while receiving rave reviews from NPR Music, The New York Times, The Guardian, SPIN, The Onion, Time Out New York and many others.

The Antlers originated in 2006 as the solo project of frontman Peter Silberman.
After self-releasing a pair of bedroom recordings, Silberman recruited drummer Michael Lerner and multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci for the group's breakout record Hospice.
The group recorded Burst Apart with the same lineup, opting to engineer and produce the album on their own.
"We realized that we didn't need an outside producer or engineer to sound the way we wanted," noted Cicci.
Burst Apart was strongly influenced by the band's interest in electronic music, which Silberman describes as "music that keeps moving and is kind of entrancing and expansive at the same time," while eschewing the loops and effects typically associated with the genre.
