| “One of the best live bands currently operating” – Daily Telegraph “Jack Antonoff has almost single-handedly made modern pop into a glorious safe space, an expansive, sensitive, creative biosphere” – Rolling Stone “An impressively efficient chorus-delivery machine big on arena-sized earworms” –The Times “It’s not merely the sound of ‘Bleachers’ that distinguishes the album but Antonoff’s newly expansive approach to writing for the band”– Los Angeles Times “‘Bleachers’ is a bold, upbeat record – all unexpected sax lines, thwacking snares and lyrics that are somehow both wry and surprisingly earnest” – British GQBleachers today release ‘A Stranger Desired’ – a reimagined version of the band’s iconic debut album. You can purchase and stream ‘A Stranger Desired’ HERE. The release of ‘A Stranger Desired’ arrives in celebration of the tenth anniversary of debut ‘Strange Desire’ and features lead track ‘Rollercoaster’, which highlights a gentler side to Bleachers’ sound. Though the new version is stripped-back, it still maintains the infectious energy and warmth of the original. “on this anniversary that feels so sacred i have realised something: it wasn’t only a strange desire to write these songs, there was something unknown to me happening. i was looking for you: my people. i hadn’t been honest enough in my life and as result i let the wrong ones in. the only path was to tell the story comically unfiltered. my great loss, transcendent anxiety, and an unearned hope that would remain the thread in my writing to this day. it was more than a strange desire to make this album, it was a stranger desired.” – Jack Antonoff ‘A Stranger Desired’ comes in the midst of Bleachers’ critically acclaimed ‘From The Studio To The Stage’ tour. After sold out headline shows across the US and Europe throughout the spring and summer, Bleachers have two dates at Los Angeles’ iconic The Greek Theatre and their largest headline show to date at New York’s Madison Square Garden coming up. The last few months have seen them go from Summer Sonic Festival in Japan to their first performance at Reading & Leeds Festival, which Dork hailed as “rowdy, beautiful and fiercely positive. It’s the sort of set dreams are made of.” Limited tickets for remaining dates can be found at bleachersmusic.com/tour. ‘Bleachers’, the band’s fourth studio album, was released in March via Dirty Hit and features singles ‘Modern Girl’, ‘Alma Mater’, ‘Tiny Moves’ and ‘Me Before You’. The release of ‘Bleachers’ was met with tremendous praise with DIY lauding the album as “nothing short of remarkable”, Rolling Stone praising its “spiritual ecstasy that can only be attained through the platonic perfection of pop formula” and NME labelling the record as “a triumphant portrait of Antonoff’s talent and the band’s tight musical bond”. Described as “anthemic, life affirming pop rock” by the New York Times, Bleachers are fronted by globally celebrated, eleven-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Jack Antonoff. Releasing their debut album ‘Strange Desire’ in 2014, the band have built a huge, passionate following across four studio albums, becoming renowned for their impressive live show and infectious camaraderie. The band’s last album, ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night’ took them to new heights, showcasing Antonoff’s immersive songwriting and, as Variety testified, his innate skill at “supersizing personal stories into larger-than-life pop anthems”. Both with Bleachers and as a songwriter and producer, Antonoff, who, in 2021, was credited by the BBC for having “redefined pop music”, has collaborated with the likes of Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, The 1975, Kendrick Lamar, Diana Ross, Lorde, St. Vincent, Florence + The Machine, Kevin Abstract and many more. In February 2024 Antonoff won Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for an incredible third consecutive year, becoming only the second producer in history to win three years running. In May, he was recognised as one of the most influential people of 2024 on the prestigious annual TIME100 list. Bleachers assets can be found HERE.
