Bleachers: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Lyndsey McKenna | July 12, 2021
Both as producer extraordinaire and artist in his own right, Jack Antonoff has had an outsized impact on the past decade in pop. And yet, even with such maximalist aims, Antonoff clearly understands the effectiveness of scale: that the most enduring tracks are often intimate portraits.
Recorded in a sun-drenched spot outside Electric Lady Studios, where the forthcoming Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night was made, Bleachers' Tiny Desk (home) concert puts a premium on proximity, both emotionally and spatially. Surrounded by greenery, the footage is interspersed with close-up angles filtered through an old-school finish (scan the wide shot and you'll spy a video camera perched on the piano, plus one very tiny desk, too). The set opens with "91," the album's ambitious opening cut, followed by a bombastic revision of "Stop Making This Hurt," which gets a slick saxophone rewrite courtesy of Zem Audu and Evan Smith.
Just before the concert concludes with a sweeping rendition of "Chinatown" - no Bruce Springsteen cameo, but the emotional ache remains - Antonoff explains the urgency of the recording process: "We did a bunch of live takes that sound to me like a group of people who didn't know if they were ever gonna play again, and that became the backbone of this album." The stakes feel high when the tracks feel personal: It's a balancing act at which Antonoff excels.

Jack Antonoff is the Jack Antonoff of our generation
no he isn't
@@Robb3348 ok
I need this on a shirt
What-
😂
Jack really couldn’t help himself but to release half of his album before the album was supposed to come out. I love him.
Honestly, half of the bands these days do this

You can just tell that Jack loves everything about music, and that he puts his heart into every project.
If you just say 'Hey, Jack, so, music eh?' He'll start talking for at least ninety minutes straight about music
Somebody get this man a new pair of glasses - they be slippin
👍
I had to scroll down to the comments, couldn't take it anymore those glasses :-)
the price of fashion
It's kind of hilarious, they just won't stay. Look very expensive and don't function.
I hate you man. I wouldn't have noticed and now it's the only thing I can see...
Bleachers has never ever missed a single time. Nothing but heaters.

new bleachers music somehow always comes out when I'm feeling down and immediately makes me feel better and fall in love with music all over again
91 is gonna be a special song. Also the sheer emotion Jack shows at the end of Chinatown shows how special and meaningful that song is. So happy I discovered this incredible band ❤️
I completely agree that 91 is a stand out song, the Bleachers are an incredible band, and Jack was very emotional signing all of the songs. From my repeated viewings of the concert, I think he is wiping away sweat as the heat of the venue continued to be an issue throughout the TDC? Not a critical point, but just an observation.
This rendition of 91 is one of those songs which just makes you wanna shed a tear 😭❤️
The descriptions to these videos are the hidden gem of Tiny Desk. It's nice to see someone articulate pay respect to all the artists.
I know! It's so nice to see people enjoying their music speaking English good, and a thang. 😁
count how many times jack had to push his glasses on his face in 91 so much that he had to take them off😭😭
this humidity man
91 times
i counted 13 but could be wrong lol
now I’m running and I can’t stop, I thought to myself I wanna get better, to somewhere that takes sadness of out saturday night..
I wish I can watch you perform someday. Love from Nigeria
English major coming in to say that "She's here but she's not, and just like her I'm not home" and "You're here when you're not and just like you I can't leave" are the most god-tier lyrics I've heard this year. Bless you Jack
can u explain it
can’t believe i’m seeing them in september…
same!
November here, I'm way too excited!
BTW, come back and update the setlist 🙏
me tooooo
SAME!!! New York?
I absolutely LOVE how layered, and experimental Jack is.. He's truly one of a kind 🍅
This Tiny desk has been underrated. GIVE BLEACHERS THE LOVE THEY DESERVE!!
91 is a beautiful song 😍 can't wait to hear the studio version
91 is a beautiful song. "I know what what I'm not.".
BLEACHERS pt.2 ?!??!?!? Thanks Jack n NPR
Yes, this is incredible!!
This version of chinatown makes me feel the feelings I’ve never felt before, like a nostalgic but at the same time new kind of feeling if it makes sense?
Makes perfect sense
This is the best version so far…
This version broke me.
So beautiful to hear how Jack varies every song of the original version, giving every live performance its on Interpretation!!🍅
WOW! This is my first exposure to the Bleachers! Such powerful emotions in their music! Thank you Bleachers and Tiny Desk!
... Third time through and still lov'en it!
when jack said oooo000ooooohhh at the beginning of chinatown....I felt that
Jack Antonoff is my favorite white boy
unproblematic fave
same bruh
Ok same 😂
8:34 - instant chills. Yes.
they're so good!! i wish they would've sung how dare you want more cause im obsessed with that song🥰🥰🖤🤍
I absolutely love how everyone in the band were smiling once they finished "Stop Making This Hurt", just a beautiful grin from everyone
Chinatown is soooo beautiful. it actually hurts me :')
saw these guys live last night and they were just phenomenal. the energy they have in stage is literally unmatched, and the show was just spectacular. if you get a chance, do not skip out on going.
i saw them in concert, and oh my gosh… the amount of TALENT, energy, and effort they had on that stage was just incredible. it blows my mind how these guys are better than 90% of the music on the charts, yet THEYRE SO UNDERRATED!!
loved them so so much. jack was just the coolest, and i LOVED THE SAXOPHONE GUYS SO MUCH. 💚💚💚
Cut Jack some slack on the glasses pushup, as a long time glasses wearer, I completely feel for him, especially when he's making the kind of music he is. I do wonder, though, is he wearing a Future Farmers of America shirt.....growing up in rural Texas I kind of recognize the color and the badge but the never show it clear enough. Great tunz
Evan makes me proud to be from maine.. I still have never seen a more humble, powerful and talented musician play..
I hope y’all come back home soon.
Glad to know that 91 will make me cry every time I listen to it!
im on a different kind of sad now but this one made me feel so much better for 12 minutes. tears
Is it bad that i like this version of 91 better than the studio version??
Jack has such a good energy.
This is a 10/10. Can´t wait to see them live.
OK algorithm. Yes. I do like horns and piano. Bleacher who the what? Yep. OK. I'll be back.
They have another tiny desk, check it out, it's great
@@ratancrasta1351 Thanks, I will!
Album’s coming out at the end of the month! For now check their other two albums. I discovered them by chance too and now they’re an all time fave.
@@ratancrasta1351 yes! I think I've watched that one about 30 times this year. I'm not saying this one's bad, but the other one is perfection. On my top 5 Tiny desk performances ever
@@msanleon Same! My top 5 TDCs are some order of Half*Alive, Chvrches, Passion Pit, Son Lux, and Bleachers
I have problems deciding wheter the voice and melodies make me feel strengthen or they destroy me for a while. Anyway both feelings are powerful. Cheers to them and their new album
Drinking game: shot every time he pushes his glasses up
the new Bruce Springsteen album sounds great
jack im really proud of you, you are one of the best songwriters of our generation. keep goint like that and you will have everything in world.
Heavy Springsteen vibe on the second tune. That’s a good thing.
Springsteen actually features on the studio version of the third song--check it out! it's pretty great
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SCREAMING
I can’t stop coming back and listening. I can feel soul bleeding into every note. Your music makes me feel things I’d long forgotten.
Sax player is GODLIKE thank you for the vibes sir
their next album is gonna be one of the best of 2021
“91” is going to be the ultimate elegy of the millennial. and it will trickle to other generations as well, being a timeless piece of music. i love that it will be opening the album. my musical palette is anxiously waiting for this album. it’s insane how much i’m anticipating it.
Bleachers' music has helped me through really tough times this is SUCH A BLESSING
Love the lofi camera vibes
It feels like I missed this even though I’m listening for the first time.
Love how they did this video! I transfer VHS, and camcorder tapes for a living and love seeing them combined with modern video!
this version of chinatown just made me cry tbh
Anais. From the first time you walked in the room I was drawn to you like a magnet. Through the last 7 years. The pull has really only gotten stronger. Thank you for being you. You may not realize it. But you being you has helped me be me. I love you.
Possible the best tiny desk concert, thank you !
That first song ripped my heart out of my chest and tore it into a million pieces. I loved every second!!
Thank you NPR for high-quality content
THANK U NPR AND BLEACHERS 🍅
Hopefully this will make your day. Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music.
You can tell how happy they are to be able to properly play together and how excited to be in front of a crowd again soon :)
Jack a& bleachers- I am so shocked at how unbelievable their talent is. The composition, lyrics, style and change up are a standing memory for why I love music.
god i love jack more than anything he's a genius
love coming back to this tiny desk ❤️
If the show ain’t better than this, i’m sure it’ll be just as raw and spectacular. I love you guys. Can’t wait to experience your music live in September!
jack really gave us 3 songs from the album before it is released
i love you
4, if you count "how dare you want more"
@@autumn7809 ups, i counted hwdywm, i forgot 45😵
I CAN'T STOP CRYING OF HOW MUCH I LOVE JACK😭
I cannot wait for the Chicago concert this October!!
Can't wait to see them live again. The concert is gonna be a week before my due date and I just broke my leg..but I'll be there. Definitely needed after all the stress of this past year!
I cannot. Why is Jack so precious?
Perfect in every way and this struck every chord in my heart- I needed it. Thank you.
Good morning Bleachers people and especially Bleachers Discord 💙
It's evening here 😅 but what the heck, hope y'all have a great day ❤️.
wait bleachers discord??? send link please,,,,
@@snailwizard3724 You can ask it to bleachersfanart on IG
Drop that link to the discord! Don’t be shy
@@gua610 Im gonna ask to the moderator of the server
Seriously one of the few albums this century that embody the spirit of ‘80s fun, from cover to finale.
You simply can not tell me that these men were not peaking of their dome while recording this and have me believe it.
jack spins words into gold
Seen the group on SNL last night. I enjoyed the energy, but could not hear the lyric. Music was good and Evan (did some research to find out his name) had my attention. Love how it looks like he plays the sax with his body. Music plays through him like a shockwave. Made him so fun and fascinating to watch. Found this video, and now I am a fan of the whole band. Could hear Jacks voice much better. New Bleachers fan…. Can’t wait to see them live!
For God sake someone give that man a hug at the end of Chinatown♥️
not gonna lie to you, hearing him breathing makes this amazing
Surely Jack can afford glasses that actually stay on his nose.
I can clearly tell through every video of Jack antonoff playing music why the biggest artists gravitate toward him and want him to produce their albums. He is pure genius and seems incredibly lovable and easily adaptable! All of my all time favorite songs, he had something to do with. An icon!
nobody:
jack: 👀👓👈🏻
This gonna be crazy and massive
Will be praying for you to get better, brother 🙏
Trampoline was one of my favorite albums ever. Thanks Jack!
Best discovery ive made in 2021. big. up. the bleachers
would die for jack antonoff's "whoo yeah"
OMGGGG IM SO EXCITED LFGGGGG
I love the point Antonoff makes about the album sounding like a group of people who wouldn't know if this was their last time playing - that's some serious artistic depth. Gotta love it.
Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music ❤️ This made my day ❤️
IS THIS A MIRACLE?
Honestly I just wanna play and sing and be surrounded by plants thank you for showing me this
this feels like a little home video. I love it
I LOVE YOU JACK
What a great personal concert. Well done boys.
I don't know why but watching them play put a wide smile on my face.. thank you for this tiny concert
So happy that I could help write some stuff, thanks Jack for taking my suggestions!
SCREAMING
It's clear!
He doesn't need wearing glasses
He feels the Music!
I feel like this dude has a reall Bob Dylan vibe
Glad someone else picked up on that!
Yes, his singing is very spontaneous and very different from the recordings - just like Dylan. Love it.
If Dylan and Springsteen had a kid.
I'm going nuts with this new song 91
Can't wait to be released
