Bleachers - Bleachers

Label

Dirty Hit

“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” – British GQ

Earlier this month frontman Jack 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 a hugely successful night for the talented songwriter and producer, Antonoff also picked up a Grammy Award for his work on Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ in the Album Of The Year category, taking his total of Grammy Awards across his career to an impressive 10.

Antonoff & Bleachers are set to take their renowned live show on the road this year on the ‘From The Studio To The Stage’ tour. The forthcoming dates will see the band play across the UK in March before a US leg in May and June, including the sixth edition of the band’s legendary Shadow Of The City festival in New Jersey, and will be the first opportunity for eager fans to see the band play live in support of their highly anticipated new album. Limited tickets for remaining dates can be found HERE. (Contact us with any requests).

There’s a rich depth to the band’s sound on ‘Bleachers’: it is laid out in bright, soulful technicolour. The album is frontman 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.

Described as “anthemic, life affirming pop rock” by the New York Times, Bleachers are fronted by globally celebrated, ten-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 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-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, Diana Ross, Lorde, St. Vincent, Florence + The Machine, Kevin Abstract and many more.
