Bleachers - Take The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night (July 30, 2021) Album • Page 56

Never listened to this band before, but holy shit I love the new song.

I guess I need to go back and check their catalogue out…

 

just make sure to start with album 1 instead of album 3

 

LOL definitely listen in order. Sadness is the "worst" but still has a few bangers.

 

Jack Antonoff: “I’ve never made anything hoping everyone… - The Face

Almost anything you read about Antonoff will zero in on his work as a producer, trying to crack the code as to why so many epoch-defining stars have enlisted him to work on their records in the years since Swift tapped him for her colossal 2014 album 1989. Antonoff says that “if that was a tellable story, someone would have told it.”

For him, that particular line of questioning is frustrating: “Sometimes I’m like, ‘I don’t know motherfuckers. Ask a painter how they paint’, you know?” he says. “I feel like if you actually drill down past the questions, what I’m really confronted with is a complete misunderstanding of what writing and production actually is.”

Culturally, there’s a fixation on the “Antonoff sound”, a term that could mean, variously: bombastic ’80s synths; 70s folk-rock; sleek modern pop; or treacly balladwork. The merits of this “sound” are widely debated.

 

Maybe new song next month?

 

They sound great here but seems like very little energy. Product of the late night show music spot.

 

Me drunkenly slurring "she's my alma mater"

 

Take the sadness out of Wednesday morning

 

I am…not into this at all

 

This is so bad

 

Vinyl pre-orders just went up for this album and there's like 8 bonus tracks exclusive to vinyl, depending on which version you purchase. Looks like we're getting a lot of new Bleachers, which I'm here for.

 

“Modern Girl” is fun, like David Byrne with the E Street Band, sounds like Wolf Parade. Not sure what’s going on with “Alma Mater”.

 

Went ahead and made a new thread https://forum.chorus.fm/threads/bleachers-s-t-march-8-2024.66079/

 

Love this track.

 

The first minute of this would be a good interlude. The rest of it is not a mode I think works for Jack at all, especially as a single with the album announcement.
