Bleachers

16 songs 9 albums

The so-called “80s-nostalgia” indie pop artist Bleachers infuses modern electronica with stylistic elements of the 80s. Headed by Jack Antonoff of Steel Train and Fun. fame, the band’s music is deeply personal, emotive, and lyrically evocative.

Their debut album Strange Desire was released July 10th, 2014, and was mostly written by Antonoff throughout his tour with fun. A very visceral, realized album that addresses death, memory, self-image, and spontaneity, among other themes, Desire showed the world the great potential Bleachers has to become the next pop act to become a household name.

After an EP featuring new versions of Like A River Runs and an album of Desire’s songs covered by female artists in the same vein of the final Steel Train album, the group returned with Gone Now. It featured many of the same themes as the first album.
