Album Review
Bleachers - Gone Now
4 StarsAn album that’s vibrant and full of life while still being wonderfully introspective.
When Jack Antonoff first stepped out alone he became quickly infamous for his brand of brilliantly wonky pop songs. With debut ‘Strange Desire’, he created a set of multi-faceted anthems which provided an opportunity to dance and cry at the same time.
Unsurprisingly for follow-up ‘Gone Now’, he’s building upon those solid gold foundations – just take a quick glance at the rest of his resumé – with sights set even higher. ‘Don’t Take The Money’ is a spectacular segue in, while ‘Everybody Lost Somebody’ stands tall as a bittersweet slice of perfection. An album that’s vibrant and full of life while still being wonderfully introspective, yet again, Bleachers has outdone himself.
