The Antlers new album Burst Apart is a favorite of the blog thus far for 2011. Fresh, mixing the ethereal with haunts in the dark corners and simply great rock blasts, this Brooklyn band, originally a solo project of front man Peter Silberman, goes from strength to strength with this killer follow up to their last killer album. They've shed their lo-fi past and gained a bigger chamber pop sound, but it strikes a magnificent balance across the board. Count me a huge fan.
