Bleachers Release New Single ‘the van’
Bleachers release new single ‘the van’.
‘the van’ will feature alongside ‘you and forever’ and ‘dirty wedding dress’ on Bleachers’ upcoming fifth studio album, ‘everyone for ten minutes’, set for release on Friday 22nd May via Dirty Hit.
Earlier this month, Bleachers announced the details of their North American tour in support of ‘everyone for ten minutes’. The band will be taking their acclaimed live show back on the road in June and across September and October including a headline show at NYC’s Madison Square Garden and a five night residency at the iconic Troubadour in Los Angeles. Fans can purchase tickets here. HERE.
$1 from each ticket sold will be donated to The Ally Coalition to support LGBTQ+ youth.
The band returned earlier this year with the infectious ‘you and forever’ alongside an accompanying Alex Lockett visual featuring Margaret Qualley before following up with the Americana-influenced ‘dirty wedding dress’. Bleachers have also revealed a mesmerising Gabe Drechsler directed live version of ‘you and forever’ shot at Electric Lady Studios.
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. Despite the moments where it briefly peers into darkness, it’s essentially an optimistic record that feels lovestruck and hopeful, leaping from harmony-laden folk rock to shimmering pop soul to the sax-assisted New Jersey sound that Bleachers have become synonymous for.
Described by The New York Times as “anthemic” and “life-affirming”, Bleachers are fronted by thirteen-time Grammy Award-winning artist Jack Antonoff. 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 record, 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 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’s Madison Square Garden.
