I have never been a big fan of falsetto, but The Antlers front man and founder Peter Silberman is one of the few singers who can really pull it off. I would put Silbermanis’s quality of singing and range right up there with some of the greats like Thom Yorke and Prince. Burst Apart starts a little slow, but when it picks up, it doesn’t stop till the end. I knew almost immediately when Burst Apart started that it wasn’t just going to be another indie rock album from Brooklyn but its own entity entirely. In the oversaturated dream pop and indie scene that’s going on right now I think it’s a big feat to be original the way The Antlers are. There are a few tracks on Burst Apart that will straight up blow your mind, one of them being “Rolled Together.” The track has little to no vocals and is mainly just slow guitar strums, but the drum build is almost overwhelmingly good. I think if you have been waiting for a new and original sound/album then Burst Apart is here for you. This was one of the harder albums to not give a perfect score to. The slower start just makes it a listen that will not stay with you right away, but as it goes on Burst Apart will end up being an album that touches the deepest part of you.
Final Review- 95
