A distant tremor, then silence, until the quiet snaps. With Something In The Air, The Antlers usher in a disquieting calm before the storm. The single unfolds like a cinematic whisper that crescendos into a shattering orchestral jolt, mirroring the creeping tension of modern anxieties. It’s a visceral return for the band, and a haunting preview of their forthcoming LP Blight. His words echo throughout the track’s unsettling layers, where the atmosphere itself seems to hold breath. Peter Silberman explains:

‘Something in the Air’ is about a looming threat that can take many forms. Precautions that would have seemed strange a decade ago have become ordinary routines—doom lies dormant, waiting to erupt.

"Blight," The Antlers’ first studio album in four years, arrives October 10 via Transgressive Records. Ahead of its release, they’ll debut the record live in NYC at Le Poisson Rouge on October 22, then embark on a UK and EU tour, starting in Limerick on March 5, 2026. With early praise from Pitchfork, NPR, and Stereogum, Blight is shaping up as a profoundly immersive chapter in their evolving sonic narrative.
