Bleachers have released ‘A Stranger Desired’, reimagining their debut album for its 10th anniversary

Bleachers have released ‘A Stranger Desired’, a reimagined version of their debut album ‘Strange Desire’, to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

The release coincides with Bleachers’ ongoing ‘From The Studio To The Stage’ tour, which includes upcoming performances at Los Angeles’ The Greek Theatre and New York’s Madison Square Garden. The band recently made their debut at Reading & Leeds.

Frontman Jack Antonoff reflects on the significance of the anniversary, saying, “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.”

Bleachers’ fourth studio album, ‘Bleachers’, was released in March via Dirty Hit, featuring singles ‘Modern Girl’, ‘Alma Mater’, ‘Tiny Moves’ and ‘Me Before You’.
