BLEACHERS LP // OUT NOW

“The new album is more conversational, outward-looking and even funny. It paints a more peaceful and, by Antonoff’s own admission, mature picture of love.” THE GUARDIAN

“Bleachers is a bold, upbeat record – all unexpected sax lines, thwacking snares and lyrics that are somehow both wry and surprisingly earnest.” GQ MAGAZINE

“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

“Jack Antonoff has almost single-handedly made modern pop into a glorious safe space; an expansive, sensitive, creative biosphere.” ROLLING STONE

The release has been met with tremendous critical acclaim 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”.

There’s a rich depth to the band’s sound on Bleachers, laid out in bright, soulful technicolour. The album is front man Jack Antonoff’s distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life, on his position in culture, and on the things he cares about. Sonically, it’s sad, it’s joyful, it’s music for driving on the highway to, for crying to and for dancing to at weddings. There’s something reassuringly touchable and concrete about its sentiment – exist in crazy times but remember what counts.

This week Bleachers announced details of their biggest headline show to date at Madison Square Garden, with the band set to bring their renowned live show to “the world’s most famous arena” in New York City on Friday 4 October. Fans can sign up now at bleachers.ffm.to/msg to access the seated registration presale beginning on Wednesday 13 March. General sale begins on Friday 15 March at bleachersmusic.com/tour.

Bleachers will hit the road this month on their highly anticipated From The Studio To The Stage tour, which will see the band play across the UK in March before a US leg in May and June, including the sixth edition of their legendary Shadow Of The City festival in New Jersey. This will be the first opportunity for fans to see the band play live in support of the new album. Limited tickets for the dates can be found at bleachersmusic.com/tour

Described as “anthemic, life affirming pop rock” by the New York Times, Bleachers are fronted by globally celebrated, eight-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 and passionate following across three 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-then-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, Lorde, The 1975, Diana Ross, St Vincent, Florence & The Machine and many more. In February Jack Antonoff won Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) at the 66^th annual Grammy Awards for an incredible third consecutive year, becoming only the second producer in history to win three years running.
