At only 21 years old, In The Attic Of The Universe is Peter Silberman's 5th release, though only his second under The Antlers moniker. After moving to Manhattan last year, he set up a cramped, make-shift recording studio in his apartment and set to work on what would become The Antlers' first proper LP, Uprooted, a different sort of take on the transplant album, exploring claustrophobia and sleepwalking against a fuzz-folk backdrop. He spent 2006 performing throughout his new home in support of the album, and in the fall of 2006, sprawled his equipment on the floor and set to work on In The Attic of The Universe, a concept-EP in which he ups the instrumentation from the acoustic guitar that dominated Uprooted, introducing a full rhythm section, moog, accordion, and piano (both traditional and toy) and a host of others, while parts of the album were recorded outside the farmhouse he grew up on with an old Sony shoebox tape-recorder. The result is a sound revolving around swelling ambience and climactic explosions in the vein of The Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros, alongside Silberman's voice, a sort of cross between Jeff Mangum and Jeff Buckley.

some early press for In The Attic Of The Universe:

"This album came out of nowhere. And it's instantly conquered many other albums that are fighting for spots at the top of my favorite albums of '07 list...This one sounds so full and lush and all those sort of words, but still gentle and delicate. And I am still hearing Neutral Milk Hotel and Antony & The Johnsons all over the place, while he is also continuing to carve out his own unique sound...Have I ever explained that one of the qualities of an album that I value the most is the ability to listen straight though and not skip a song? This album has that quality."
-The Battering Room

"I'm loving the fuller sound of the EP, with a full rhythm section, piano, and synthesizers it creates a much larger sound to wrap around the talents of his singing"
-Pop Tarts Suck Toasted

"As a music blogger, you never know what to expect when you listen to all that new unknown music that comes into your inbox. Most of it leave you weary, but some knock the shit-biscuit out of you and leave you wondering about matters such as "so much beauty in the world", "incredibly tapped talents", "influences worn well" and "blog, like hell, my friend, blog!" Witness my story with the relatively unknown The Antlers (no wikipedia entry, google hit #6, incredibly fantastic music)."
-Kwaya Na Kisser

"The band's new album, In The Attic of the Universe, is spectacular."
-Baby, You Got A Stew Goin!

"...The sound would have you believe he's being backed by a super group made up of members of Arcade Fire and Grizzly Bear. "
-Quick, Before It Melts
