Bleachers: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- 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.
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.
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..
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
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. 😁
This rendition of 91 is one of those songs which just makes you wanna shed a tear 😭❤️
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

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!!
BLEACHERS pt.2 ?!??!?!? Thanks Jack n NPR
Yes, this is incredible!!
91 is a beautiful song 😍 can't wait to hear the studio version
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!
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
It describes the desperate pain of a dying relationship. Both present but both not there in spirit. together, but so very alone. 😢@@Achilles553
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?
91 is a beautiful song. "I know what what I'm not.".
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. 💚💚💚
I wish I can watch you perform someday. Love from Nigeria
I absolutely love how everyone in the band were smiling once they finished "Stop Making This Hurt", just a beautiful grin from everyone
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.
when jack said oooo000ooooohhh at the beginning of chinatown....I felt that
This is a 10/10. Can´t wait to see them live.
they're so good!! i wish they would've sung how dare you want more cause im obsessed with that song🥰🥰🖤🤍
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.
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
Bleachers' music has helped me through really tough times this is SUCH A BLESSING
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.
Jack has such a good energy.
8:34 - instant chills. Yes.
Drinking game: shot every time he pushes his glasses up
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SCREAMING
It feels like I missed this even though I’m listening for the first time.
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.
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.
That first song ripped my heart out of my chest and tore it into a million pieces. I loved every second!!
Hopefully this will make your day. Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music.
Love how they did this video! I transfer VHS, and camcorder tapes for a living and love seeing them combined with modern video!
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
Thank you NPR for high-quality content
Possible the best tiny desk concert, thank you !
Chinatown is soooo beautiful. it actually hurts me :')
Love the lofi camera vibes
Honestly I just wanna play and sing and be surrounded by plants thank you for showing me this
Perfect in every way and this struck every chord in my heart- I needed it. Thank you.
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
their next album is gonna be one of the best of 2021
Jack you beauty!
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 :)
Sax player is GODLIKE thank you for the vibes sir
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
“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.
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!
91 is 😩❤️
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!
god i love jack more than anything he's a genius
love coming back to this tiny desk ❤️
Jack Antonoff is my favorite white boy
unproblematic fave
same bruh
Ok same 😂
So happy that I could help write some stuff, thanks Jack for taking my suggestions!
Seriously one of the few albums this century that embody the spirit of ‘80s fun, from cover to finale.
I CAN'T STOP CRYING OF HOW MUCH I LOVE JACK😭
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.
I cannot wait for the Chicago concert this October!!
Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music ❤️ This made my day ❤️
Trampoline was one of my favorite albums ever. Thanks Jack!
I cannot. Why is Jack so precious?
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😵
this feels like a little home video. I love it
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.
love this
jack spins words into gold
You simply can not tell me that these men were not peaking of their dome while recording this and have me believe it.
I don't know why but watching them play put a wide smile on my face.. thank you for this tiny concert
THANK U NPR AND BLEACHERS 🍅
not gonna lie to you, hearing him breathing makes this amazing
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
Best discovery ive made in 2021. big. up. the bleachers
Ces 12min40 me font beaucoup de bien. Merci pour tout et vive la vie wsh ♥️
OMGGGG IM SO EXCITED LFGGGGG
This is amazing, thank you once again NPR!
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!
I LOVE YOU JACK
would die for jack antonoff's "whoo yeah"
Thank you Npr, and thank you for the music Bleachers. I can't wait for this.
Thanks for the emotions.
What a great personal concert. Well done boys.
For God sake someone give that man a hug at the end of Chinatown♥️
Those songs make me think in times we were happier
IS THIS A MIRACLE?

Love this band so much with my whole heart
Yay! Another one! This is the type of comfort I need in my life.
