The Antlers hit the road again in 2026!

The Antlers – the much beloved band and recording project of singer-songwriter-guitarist-producer Peter Silberman – herald their eagerly awaited new album, Blight, with today’s premiere of the deeply chilling new single ‘Something in the Air’ available now via Transgressive Records at all DSPs and streaming services. The track, which illustrates an ambiguous, unnamed threat that calls to mind any number of distressing headlines, contains the album’s most explosive moment – a blown-out orchestral jump-scare underscoring the implied force majeure. An official lyric video is streaming on YouTube.

“‘Something in the Air’ is about a looming threat that can take many forms” says Peter Silberman. “Precautions that would have seemed strange a decade ago have become ordinary routines – a new normal set against a backdrop of creeping dread. Meanwhile, doom lies dormant, waiting to erupt.”

The Antlers’ first new studio album in over four years, Blight, arrives via Transgressive Records on Friday, October 10. The album was first unveiled earlier this summer with the volatile “Carnage” available at all digital services. A roadkill murder ballad that lurks in a brooding crawl before erupting into a full-band maelstrom, the track sees Silberman’s roaring Telecaster swarming around longtime collaborator Michael Lerner’s cacophonous drumming, harnessing an energy the band has long conjured in a live setting but until now never put to tape. “Carnage” was met by praise and attention from publications around the world, including Pitchfork, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, NME, and NPR, the latter of which hailed it as “beautifully dark” and “the best thing they’ve done since Hospice...So glad to have them back.”

The Antlers will celebrate Blight with a special album release show set for Wednesday, October 22 at New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge. Next year will see the band embark on a series of EU/UK headline dates, beginning March 5, 2026 at Dolan’s in Limerick, Ireland and then visiting Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels. Artist pre-sales are available now; general on-sales get underway Friday, September 5 at 10:00 am (local). North American headline dates will be announced soon.
