Peter Silberman (born March 31, 1986) is a Brooklyn-based songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist. He is best known as a member of the rock band The Antlers. In 2017 he released a solo album, Impermanence.

Musical career

Silberman grew up in Katonah, New York and moved to

Phil Elverum (The Microphones and Mount Eerie); in particular, that of the critically acclaimed 2001 release, The Glow Pt. 2.[1]

The follow-up album In the Attic of the Universe was also written and recorded by Silberman. It was recorded by Silberman alone between September 2006 and March 2007, and released by Fall Records on November 6, 2007, being the first Antlers album to be released with the help of a record label. When commenting on the album, Silberman noted that the album was recorded at a low point in his life, when he was able to find comfort in his fascination with the universe. This fascination led to the album's recurring theme of the universe and its vastness.[2] Silberman also noted that the album carries a theme of "religious misdirection", inspired by his own tendency to find the wrong solutions to his problems in life.[2]

After the release of In the Attic of the Universe Silberman recorded two EPs entitled Cold War and New York Hospitals, the latter featuring Michael Lerner and Sharon Van Etten as guests. Shortly thereafter, Michael Lerner and Darby Cicci came on board transforming The Antlers into a collaborative group.

In February 2017, Siberman released the album Impermanence, which he recorded in up-state New York with Nicholas Principe.[3][4] He revealed in an interview that he suffered from tinnitus and resorted to a sparse and acoustic style of performing.[5][6]
