Green to Gold is the band's first album in seven years, succeeding their fifth studio album Familiars , which was released in June 2014. [1] A few months before its release, lead singer Peter Silberman suffered a temporarily total hearing loss in his left ear. [2] [3] He experienced "tremendous" and "all-consuming" ear pain and extreme sound sensitivity, and was ultimately diagnosed with tinnitus, hyperacusis and cochlear hydrops (a rare form of Ménière's disease). [4] [2] Silberman was unsure he could continue singing, and contemplated quitting music altogether. [5] [6] He retreated from Brooklyn in 2015 to a cabin in upstate New York to record a solo album, entitled Impermanence , which was released in 2017. [4] Silberman had quietly retired The Antlers, taking up gardening and meditation, and developing a meaningful relationship. [1] Impermanence used silence as an instrument, [1] employing a sparse and acoustic style of performing. [7] [8] The album was met with positive reviews from critics, [9] but it received a mixed emotional response from fans of the band. [10] After touring Impermanence, [6] Silberman was diagnosed with vascular lesions on one of his vocal cords, and required surgery for their removal. [11] [12] He subsequently underwent vocal therapy to relearn how to sing and how to do diaphragmatic breathing. In 2021, Silberman said, "The fact that it recovered to the degree that it did is pretty rare, but I'm very grateful for it". [13]

In 2017, the band denied rumors that they had broken up, writing, "While we don't have immediate plans to make new music, we'll surely be back when the time is right". [14] In 2019, The Antlers reissued their third studio album, Hospice (2009). They embarked on a 10th anniversary tour, playing the album in its entirety. However, Silberman's health concerns led them to perform acoustic versions of the songs during intimate shows in smaller venues. The success of the tour was a creative impetus for the band. [15] [13] Silberman said the tour "rejuvenated [him], and cemented [his] decision to revive the project". [6]

The songs on Green to Gold were written by Silberman and Michael Lerner between 2017 and 2020. The album was recorded primarily at Harrington Road in New Paltz, New York. Additional recording was done at Lone Pine Road in Kingston, New York. Field recordings of nature were recorded in New Paltz; Katonah, New York; Otis, Massachusetts; Rockport, Massachusetts and Luquillo, Puerto Rico. [16] The album also marks the departure of multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci. [10]

Music and lyrics

The album's instrumentation has been described as "warm", [18] [19] "lustrous", [1] "airy", [20] and "pastoral". [18] [19] [21] Moments of silence on the album are populated by nature field recordings primarily from Silberman's upstate New York home, including crickets, cicadas and wind. [1] [18] The album's title track documents the changing of the seasons. [1] Chris White of musicOMH wrote, "For a band who made their name playing epically sad, often emotionally traumatic songs, Green to Gold sounds positively sunny and mellow in comparison. [11] "Strawflower" and "Equinox", both instrumental tracks, serve as bookends "for the unfolding story told within them". [6] The album has been characterized as "starkly minimal" [21] due to its heavy reliance on organic acoustic instrumentation. [22] This is in contrast with the band's previous albums, which employed ambient and electronic influences. [22] [21] The songs on Green to Gold feature "slow-building cascades of instrumentation" [23] which develop "hypnotic" rhythms centered around guitars, piano, [11] and Silberman's breathy [24] and "eased" falsetto. [25] There are occasional brass and strings arrangements, [10] including bass clarinet on "Wheels Roll Home"; violin and viola on "Solstice"; cello on "Stubborn Man"; banjo on "Just One Sec" and "Volunteer"; slide guitar by Dave Harrington on "Just One Sec"; and baritone saxophone, flute, clarinet and french horn by Kelly Pratt on "It Is What It Is". [16]

The songs on the album were written "almost entirely in the morning hours," [19] with Silberman seeking to make "Sunday morning music". [1] Silberman has said Green to Gold stands alone in the band's discography in being devoid of the "unsettling quality" which characterized their previous albums. [6] Fred Thomas of AllMusic agreed: "There are hints of sunny melancholy here and there on Green to Gold, but the mood is never dire or eerie". [26] Guia Cortassa of The Quietus wrote, "The constant sense of apnoea and claustrophobia saturating all his previous work is gone, leaving space for a rediscovered breathing". [20]

The album's themes center around ageing [10] and the "unstoppable force of change" [18] as they relate to the limitations of the human experience in the natural world. [21] The album celebrates the process of "going home, overcoming stubbornness, transitioning from one season to the next, leaving behind the old as a natural way of shedding the past". [13] Silberman opted for a more direct approach on Green to Gold; the album documents two years in his life, taking inspiration from conversations with his friends and partner. Silberman said, "I think the shift in tone is the result of getting older. It doesn't make sense for me to try to tap into the same energy that I did ten or fifteen years ago, because I continue to grow as a person, as I'm sure our audience does too. Green to Gold is about this idea of gradual change. People changing over time, struggling to accept change in those they love, and struggling to change themselves. And yet despite all our difficulty with this, nature somehow makes it look easy". [6]

Release and promotion

The album's first single, "Wheels Roll Home", was released on October 6, 2020, and was the band's first new music in six years. [27] A second single, "It Is What It Is", was released on November 10, 2020. [28] The band officially announced Green to Gold on January 13, 2021, [29] [30] simultaneously releasing the single "Solstice". [31] The album's fourth and final single, "Just One Sec", was released on February 17, 2021. [32] On March 24, 2021, the band premiered its accompanying "feature-length dance film" directed by Derrick Belcham and Emily Terndrup. It stars dancers Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber and was shot in a farmhouse in New York's Catskill Mountains. The film's narrative presents "multiple, non-linear time slices of their life together over its rich and dynamic course". The album's singles were previously accompanied with visuals from the film. [33] Green to Gold was released on March 26, 2021, by ANTI- in the U.S. and Transgressive Records in the U.K./Europe. [34] [35]

Tour

On November 16, 2021, the band announced a Spring 2022 tour in support of the album, originally set to begin in March 2022 in Europe and extending to June 2022 in North America. The announcement coincided with the release of the Losing Light EP. [36] In February 2022, the band announced the cancellation of all UK and Europe shows. [37] The North American tour extended from May into June 2022. Only one show–a concert at the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix scheduled for May 17–was cancelled as a result of Silberman losing his voice. [38] The band performed an additional date on September 9, 2022, as part of the Maverick Concerts in Hurley, New York.

Green to Gold was met with favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 80, based on 12 reviews. [40] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus. [39]

Fred Thomas of AllMusic wrote, "Green to Gold reshapes the Antlers' once somber and brooding chamber pop into something bright and smiling. The songs strip away the sharpness and volatility the band reveled in on earlier albums to reveal a pleasant glow that was all too often hidden in the shadows". [26] Joe Goggins of DIY gave the album a 4.5 out of 5 star rating, calling it "the opening of a new chapter, rather than the closing of the last one". Goggins praised Silberman's "newly-tranquil voice" for perfectly complementing with "the most reflective lyrical material of his career". [10] Dylan Barnabe of Exclaim! gave the album a 9 out of 10 rating, calling it a "master class in quiet contemplation and coming-of-age for the modern millennial". [21] John Aizlewood, in his review for Mojo , wrote, "There's real beauty here and Silberman marries eventual accessibility with gentle boundary-pushing to create his own, thoughtful world". [41] Johnny Sharp of Uncut gave the album an 8 out of 10 rating, praising the accessibility of Silberman's vocal melodies. [22] Guia Cortassa of The Quietus called the album a "textural mass [...] of perfectly woven sounds and voice". [20]

Katherine Rodgers of The Line of Best Fit praised the horns arrangements on "It Is What It Is" and the piano on "Porchlight", but lamented the lack of "angst" in Silberman's lyrics which characterized previous Antlers releases. [19] Chris White of musicOMH felt the album lacked "any truly standout songs" like Hospice 's "Epilogue" or Burst Apart 's "Putting the Dog to Sleep", but concluded "it's still a sumptuously crafted, warmly atmospheric and often beautiful work from The Antlers, proving that Silberman remains one of America's most gifted, emotionally intelligent songwriters". [11] Jordan Walsh of Slant Magazine gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 star rating, criticizing the "lack of intensity" for allowing the songs to "sink into the background a little too easily". Walsh continued, "Sonically, they all have the same placid air about them, with few distinctive peaks or valleys. But [...] this approach allows the Antlers to color in a moment without demanding too much attention [...] It's clear that the Antlers are still capable of conjuring beauty". [17]

On November 16, 2021, the band released an EP titled Losing Light, which features reimagined versions of four songs from Green to Gold. The EP is an exploration into what the songs on Green to Gold would theoretically sound like if they were recreated 50 years in the future and by using only memory. The reimagined versions on Losing Light also take into consideration the potential technological advancements of the future as well as the effects of analog and digital degradation. Silberman and Lerner constructed the EP using elements from the earliest versions and demos of the songs, as well as fragments from the album versions, and newly created recordings. The elements were then processed "in ways that would repeatedly age them backwards and forwards, as if being blasted into the past, then flung into the future". [36] The EP was recorded at Harrington Road in New Paltz, with additional recording at Lone Pine Road in Kingston, New York and Mountain Acres in High Falls, New York. [47] The release of Losing Light coincided with the announcement of the Spring 2022 tour. [36]

  37. @theantlers (February 18, 2022). "Hi folks, It's with a heavy heart that I have to tell you we're canceling our Spring UK / EU tour. We've been planning this tour for nearly 2 years, pushed it back several times, and then finally thought we'd arrived at the point where it seemed like it had the best chance of happening. But there are still many factors that make an undertaking like this really tricky to pull off. An overseas tour is a costly undertaking for US bands in ordinary times, and piling the obstacles of a pandemic on top of that puts us in a really vulnerable position. A single positive case among our traveling party could put the entire tour in jeopardy and have very real financial ramifications. Despite my hesitations about touring in this climate, I was really looking forward to these shows. We haven't been overseas in years, and have had all these songs sitting in captivity waiting to come alive. We're going to work on booking a future tour and will let you know once we make new plans. In the meantime, refunds are available at the point of purchase. With much love, Peter / The Antlers P.S. Just to pre-empt any confusion: the North American tour is still on!".

Was hoping to be better by today but unfortunately I'm not yet able to sing. Refunds available at point of purchase. So sorry, folks" (Tweet). Archived from the original on January 5, 2023.
