Screw dismal shoe-gazing, The Antlers’s music is pure "star-gaze." Like Sufjan Stevens or The Shins, Peter Siblerman liberates his thoughts in whispering sing-song over acoustic guitar and slowly flourishing instrumental progressions. I call it ‘star-gaze’ because it’s not hard to imagine Silberman pondering up at the sky introspectively during songs like "The Universe Is Going to Catch You". After all, the 21-year-old produced and recorded "In the Attic of the Universe" on his lonesome, some in his Brookyln studio, some rustically recorded in his parent’s farmhouse. Hmm.....wonder how this one dude created a crescendoing symphony, with drums, handclaps, keyboard, xylophone and drums? You may have to ask them stars.
