With the approach of their 25th anniversary, JUNO-nominated Canadian rock band Silverstein (whose sophomore album, Discovering the Waterfront, was recently certified Gold in Canada) took to the deserts of Joshua Tree to challenge themselves in more ways than ever before. The result is the band’s most eclectic and prolific body of work yet: Antibloom / Pink Moon. A double album that draws from across Silverstein’s diverse influences, Antibloom will see its release on February 21st, 2025 via UNFD, with Pink Moon to follow later in the year.
Sam Guaiana (Neck Deep, Holding Absence, Bayside) produced and mixed Antibloom and Pink Moon at Fireside Sound in Joshua Tree, California. The band arrived with 25 demos and chose their 16 favorites. Drummer Paul Koehler suggested splitting the music into two albums and turning 2025 into a year-long celebration. This will allow listeners the space to absorb and connect with the songs, which embrace the band’s storied past and postmodern leanings in equal measure, making for diverse experiences.
In 2025, we will be celebrating 25 years as a band. For a milestone this large, we felt it deserved the largest campaign of our career. We felt incredibly inspired, and put everything we’ve learned / felt / experienced into this double-album. They say it takes an artist their whole life to write their debut album, but with starting this band so young, it felt like it took 25 years to write Antibloom / Pink Moon – the absolute collection of our musical style and ideas we’ve pioneered over these years. – Silverstein
In addition to announcing Antibloom / Pink Moon, Silverstein has shared their new single and music video “Confession.” A melodic and emotional track about owning up to one’s mistakes, “Confession” serves as a follow up to previously released single “Skin & Bones.” The two offer listeners their first glimpse at what Antibloom / Pink Moon has in store.
