Bleachers' debut album Strange Desire was released back in July, and has spawned three singles so far: "I Wanna Get Better," "Shadow," and "Rollercoaster."
"I wanted to bridge the gap between Disclosure and Arcade Fire," Antonoff told Rolling Stone about Bleachers, "something both streamlined and organic. The production and songwriting is extremely over-the-top, extremely epic and unapologetic. The record is all about finding a world where you can be kind to yourself in."
"You don't have to [make] big pop songs that sound stupid and you don't have to make these f--kin' apologetic, tired, droney songs that sound incredible," he continued. "I really wanted both things to happen."
