What a return for The Antlers made with “Green to Gold”. Their first album in seven years, it’s something of a back-to-basics record for the band. It’s a pivot away from the hefty post-rock grandeur of then-swansong “Familiars” and towards an airier, Americana-influenced sound. It feels like a rebirth for the band from the very first twinkling notes of “Strawflower,” and it’s a perfect soundtrack to the warming of the weather. The Antlers’ original three-album run is one of the most impressive (and most heart-wrenching) entries in the American indie rock canon, and with “Green to Gold“, it looks like the band plans on keeping up that streak.
