The Antlers' Darby Cicci Announces Solo EP as School of Night, Shares "Lying"

School of Night: "Lying" on SoundCloud.

The Antlers' Darby Cicci, the multi-instrumentalist who produced the band's last two albums, is sharing music from his new solo project, School of Night. He's releasing a self-titled EP on October 15 via Minus Green in the U.S. and October 14 via Transgressive in other countries. That's EP opener "Lying" above.

In a press release for the new EP, Cicci discussed starting his solo project:

“I would go to my studio, play synths in the dark, collect sounds that I love and try to build little worlds I could just dissolve into and explore. At first it was mostly playtime and I wasn’t planning on releasing it, but if I’ve learned anything from my experiences, it’s that the more you open up and share about yourself, the more you’ll learn.”

01 Lying

02 Doktor

03 Fire Escape

04 Play Dead
