On his fourth record and first album under a new label, the divisive musician maintains his brand as a maker of big, broad pop-rock anthems.For some time now, it’s been argued that in-demand producer/songwriter Jack Antonoff waters down the music of the artists he collaborates with.yearn for his downfall.
Since starting the group in 2014 after his previous award-winning outfit fun. went on hiatus, Antonoff has established Bleachers as a band with heavily retro, nostalgic influences—fusing late ‘80s stadium-sized rock with small-scale, radio-friendly songwriting. While that formula has produced some addictive earworms , it’s also inhibited Antonoff from truly expanding on and experimenting with his art.
This isn’t to say Antonoff and his band should make a sharp pivot into a new sub-genre of pop just to yank themselves out of neutral. But, four albums in, you’d think they’d take a detour instead of staying so firmly in their lane. Because of this seeming resistance against leaving their comfort zone,becomes so opaque it practically evaporates by the time you finish it.
