Bleachers have released their highly anticipated new album Bleachers via Dirty Hit. 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.
