Bleachers have shared ‘Wild Heart’ from their reimagined debut album ‘A Stranger Desired’

Bleachers have released ‘Wild Heart’, the first single from their upcoming album ‘A Stranger Desired’.

The new record, set for release on 6th September via Dirty Hit, is a reimagined version of the band’s debut album ‘Strange Desire’ to mark its tenth anniversary.

Reflecting on the anniversary, recent Dork cover star Jack Antonoff says: “On this anniversary that feels so sacred i have realised something: it wasn’t only a strange desire to write these songs, there was something unknown to me happening. i was looking for you: my people. i hadn’t been honest enough in my life and as result i let the wrong ones in. the only path was to tell the story comically unfiltered. my great loss, transcendent anxiety, and an unearned hope that would remain the thread in my writing to this day. it was more than a strange desire to make this album, it was a stranger desired.”

The announcement comes during Bleachers’ ‘From The Studio To The Stage’ tour. The band are set to play their largest headline show to date at New York’s Madison Square Garden, alongside dates at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and a run of European shows including London’s Brixton Academy.
