Bleachers - Strange Desire

Label: RCA
Year: 2014
Genre: Indie Pop
Recommending Person: Chris Heck

Jack Antonoff, of Fun. fame as well as the boyfriend of Lena Dunham, went off on his first solo project with Bleachers.

By now everyone has probably heard the first single "I Wanna Get Better". It's one of the strongest songs of the entire album, but it's probably my second favorite. The issue I have with the record is that it's almost a bit too one note. It hits the same melodic beats over and over again. It at least has a distinct sound that separates himself from fun entirely, while still containing the fantastic pop sound that Some Nights had.
