What it feels like to stare into the stars and ponder the significance or insignificance of everything.

In the attic of the universe review. Allmusic review by stewart mason peter silberman s second release under the project name the antlers in the attic of the universe starts with over 60 seconds worth of ambient noises that never quite coalesce into the sort of scene setting picture in sound silberman must have wanted. Don t expect it to be nearly as deep as hospice yet songs with such a ghostly presence like on the roof prove it s still hard to balance on a beam with a sea of empathy underneath you. I own over 10 000 cd s and used to own over 6 000 vinyl albums so now you might start guessing my age. It makes me feel like a kid again and that s one of the highest compliments i can give to a piece of art.

Though still dwarfing albeit in an entirely different way in the attic of the universe is a slightly more warming separation from its successor. It is majestic but humble physical yet ethereal everywhere and somehow nowhere all at once.

I own over 10 000 cd s and used to own over 6 000 vinyl albums so now you might start guessing my age.

Frantic falsettos bolstered by fast tempo stripped down rhythms on in the attic and the universe is going to catch you provide a comedic sense of melodrama. In the attic of the universe is another beautiful record from peter silberman. I got the remastered and cool special digipack version from fall records and couldn t be more pleased to own this. In the attic of the universe is a brilliant blend of extremes.

In the attic of the universe is a superb title for this obscure pop gem. Meanwhile silberman s sparse but focused lyrics tie his soaring energetic instrumentation to reality. In the attic of the universe reminds me of how fascinated i was with exploring the world around me when i was little a fascination which has thankfully remained intact over the years. I got the remastered and cool special digipack version from fall records and couldn t be more pleased to own this.

While the lyrics can be a bit on the nose at times the songwriting is still very good and i think the short length complements the album better than uprooted. All 8 tracks from the album in the attic of the universe performed by the antlers.
