Earlier this week, the Antlers announced something titled Undersea. Today, they revealed that Undersea will be a four song EP that will arrive July 24th. Seeing as how they’re responsible for our favorite album of 2011 with Burst Apart, we’re quite jazzed about this news. Additionally, the Antlers announced a host of fall 2012 tour dates. The Antlers released this statement regarding Undersea:

It begins in the dream of a peaceful flood. Water covers everything and rises.  We take a deep breath in and a slow breath out.  Everything is changed.

Time slows and stretches as a connectedness washes over everything.  We’re left treading water, backstroking into the future.

Undersea is the feeling of suspension- memories suspended in time and space, energy suspended in the air around us.  It’s the serenity of drifting off to sleep or of sinking to the bottom of the ocean.  It’s both the comfort of knowing that some questions have no answers, and the torment that we’re never meant to know the truth.

We’ve searched for patient, colorful sounds and found a meditative calm, a persistent pulse that leaves room for everything to breathe and expand as a new world takes shape.

There is no hurry.
