Bleachers have today released their fifth studio album everyone for ten minutes and shared the focus track we should talk.
Bleachers’ new album everyone for ten minutes is the inevitable culmination of a lifetime of devotion to bands for the six members and, ultimately, finds each one at their creative peak.
The album touches on marriage, generational divides, grief and what Jack Antonoff calls the “monumentally bizarre moment in culture” that we’re currently experiencing, set to music that leaps from harmony-laden folk rock to shimmering pop-soul to sax-assisted examples of the New Jersey sound that Bleachers have become synonymous with. The album includes the previously released singles you and forever, dirty wedding dress, the van, i’m not joking and the focus track we should talk.
Described by the New York Times as “anthemic” and “life-affirming”, Bleachers are fronted by thirteen time Grammy Award winning artist Jack Antonoff. After releasing their debut album Strange Desire in 2014, the band have built a huge, passionate following across four studio albums, renowned for their impressive live show and infectious camaraderie.
Bleachers’ self-titled fourth album, released in March 2024, marked a major high point and received widespread critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone praising the “spiritual ecstasy that can only be attained through the platonic perfection of the pop formula” and NME calling it “a triumphant portrait of Antonoff’s talent and the band’s tight musical bond”. Following its release, the band embarked on their sold out From The Studio To The Stage world tour which finished with their largest headline show to date at New York Madison Square Garden.
