13 Apr
Summary
- Bleachers releases 'The Van,' a song about early music days.
- The new music video features an impromptu apartment house show.
- The band announces a North American tour starting June 5.
The music video for Bleachers' latest single, "The Van," directed by Alex Lockett, offers a departure from typical road-life narratives. Instead, it centers on an intimate, impromptu house show held in an apartment practice space. The video opens with Jack Antonoff shaving his head before joining the band, where the music's captivating sound draws local residents to gather and eventually join the performance inside.
"The Van" itself delves into Antonoff's formative years as a musician, recalling significant moments like early gigs and a pivotal tour that solidified his ambitions. The song features a blend of steady drumming, horns, and harmonica, with lyrics touching on leaving home and embracing a permanent commitment to music. This track follows previous releases "You and Forever" and "Dirty Wedding Dress" from the forthcoming album, Everyone for Ten Minutes.
Everyone for Ten Minutes, Bleachers' fifth studio album, is set to release soon, following their self-titled 2024 effort. To support the new record, the band is scheduled to commence a North American tour on June 5 in Chicago, with dates extending through October. Additionally, Bleachers is slated to headline the Rolling Stone Rock Tour's inaugural stop on May 20 at the Fillmore in New Orleans, sharing the bill with Been Stellar and Thomas Dollbaum.
