Bleachers Shares New Song “Don’t Take the Money”: Listen
Jack Antonoff has released a new Bleachers song, “Don’t Take the Money.” It’s taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, which has yet to be announced. The song appears to feature backing vocals from Lorde, with whom Antonoff wrote the song, he confirmed in a tweet. Earlier today, Antonoff left a piñata effigy of himself in New York City’s Union Square. Fans broke it open to find USB drives with the new song; watch that go down below. Bleachers’ last album Strange Desire came out in 2014. Since then, Antonoff has been working on a book about record stores that will be released later this year. He also co-produced Lorde’s sophomore album Melodrama. Earlier this month, it was announced that Antonoff is set to live-score a screening of The Breakfast Club in Los Angeles—that goes down tomorrow. Check out Bleachers’ upcoming tour dates below, and read his statement about the song.
Read Pitchfork’s new feature, “Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff Is Your Favorite Pop Star’s Secret Weapon.”
“Don’t Take the Money” is a phrase I say in my head all the time. It has nothing to do with actual money. It means to follow the light. Don’t ignore a gut feeling. “Don’t take the money.” I repeat it to myself when I’m trying to stay on track. Specifically in this song I’m writing about my relationship and the verse and chorus run quickly through the past and the fight leading to the euphoria of seeing the light with someone else.
wrote this song with ella very late one night in the studio. then took it home and worked on it for a year. twisting it around
