“The best thing they've done since Hospice."

– NPR


"Though the subject matter is heavy, the songs are restrained,

and the arrangements are frequently gorgeous."

– Paste


"...Blight is also The Antlers’ most abstracted album, full of odd samples, electronic skitters and unpredictable structures, occasionally recalling the emotive textures of the early post-rock acts. Silberman’s signature voice remains the same, however; an angel surveying our lush but imperilled world, balancing this sense of wonder with the apocalyptic visions..."

– Treble


"Beautiful, restrained, and quietly heart-shattering."

– Northern Transmissions (8/10)


“Peter's got a fantastic new Antlers record coming out…Blight; it's at once strange new territory for him while carrying echoes of familiarity in regards to his catalog,

which continues to be one of the most sonically impressive collections of music

coming out of indie in the last 20 years, hand on the Bible.”

– LARRY FITZMAURICE’S LAST DONUT OF THE NIGHT 


“Revitalised east coast pair make a graceful return... This first album in four years achieves a captivatingly soft-sung beauty.”

– UNCUT – 8/10

 

“Blight is powerful... Peter Silberman registers his uneasiness about our mutual destiny.”

– MOJO


“Poised and exquisitely crafted, Blight’s meditations on the effects of human actions are delivered with a gentle sincerity…‘Will we be forgiven?’ asked Silberman, giving modern anxieties a hauntingly beautiful voice.”

– RECORD COLLECTOR – 4/5
