“While we don’t have immediate plans to make new music, we’ll surely be back when the time is right.”

The Antlers have been inactive in the recent past. Their last studio album Familiars was released in 2014, and this year, frontman Peter Silberman released his debut solo album. Today, breakup speculation spread across the internet. After a fan tweeted at the band asking how long their hiatus would last, the band allegedly replied “probably forever…sorry dude.” (That tweet was later deleted.) Now, the Antlers have responded to breakup reports with a statement clarifying that they plan to return someday. They wrote:

Wanted to give a clarification on a confusing tweet from earlier. As we announced in 2015, the band’s on an extended break while we individual Antlers pursue other projects. While we don’t have immediate plans to make new music, we’ll surely be back when the time is right. Sorry for the false alarm.
