4. Terrible Thrills, Vol. 2 

“Strange Desires and Terrible Thrills VOL. 2 is the same album with different performers featured which leads to their own sets of ups and downs. In my opinion, if you just want to hear the very best songs, then I would recommend listening to Wild Heart, Reckless Love, Like a River Runs,, You’re Still a Mystery, and Who I Want You to Love from Strange Desire. And if you want the best from this album, listen to Rollercoaster, Shadow, Like a River Runs, (if you can tolerate Sia’s voice) I’m Ready to Move On/Wild Heart Reprise and Who I Want You to Love.”

3. Take The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night 

“In Bleachers’ third album, producer of Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent & many more – Jack Antonoff proves once again he’s a pop powerhouse. This record seems so out of place in today’s world but also more relevant than ever in this time. From the slow strums of electric guitars to the 90 second sax pieces, this album encapsulates every era of music. From 60s jazz to 80s synths to modern day beats, Bleachers is more at home on this record than the previous two – and proves that though Jack Antonoff may not be ready to step way out of his musical comfort zone quite yet, he’s still thriving in the world of music.”

2. Gone Now 

“There’s something very distinct about the way Jack Antonoff writes a pop song. The songs feel strangely empty; in a good way. There’s a lot of room left in each track, by which I don’t mean that the songs are by any means simple but that so much effort and care has gone in to what’s there- it’s very easy to appreciate each individual element of the music.

1. Strange Desire 

“A rather spectacular collection of vintage sounding indie pop tracks. The album loses steam at the last two songs but otherwise this is one hell of a listening experience. FANTASTIC melodies and an engaging emotional narrative delivered by a compelling frontman. Absolutely recommended.”
