Bleachers have paired their new single “Alma Mater” — the latest single off their upcoming self-titled LP — with a new video.
The Alex Lockett-directed video finds Jack Antonoff taking an evening drive through his native New Jersey, encountering the creatures of the night, including a saxophone-playing construction worker and a religious zealot with a “Kill Your Idols” sign (a nod to the song’s lyrics).
Lana Del Rey, who contributes vocals to the single, also pops up throughout in an almost-ghostly manner, while Antonoff’s wife Margaret Qualley appears on...

Bleachers stopped by The Tonight Show to showcase their recent single, “Modern Girl.” The band, led by Jack Antonoff, gave an energetic performance of the track complete with horns. The song and its visuals pay tribute to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, as is on display in the clip.
Antonoff also sat down with host Jimmy Fallon to discuss producing music for Taylor Swift, including her hit “Cruel Summer,” and his wedding to actress Margaret Qualley. During the interview, Antonoff and Fallon wrote an impromptu song, proving once...

Jack Antonoff and Bleachers are back with a new song, “Modern Girl,” marking their first new song since 2021.
The track is quintessential Bleachers, with its distinctly 21st century, anxious energy paired with heart-on-sleeve E Street nostalgia. There are gang vocals on the chorus, tributes to New Jersey, a little glockenspiel, self-referential band shout-outs, and you better believe the bridge is an instrumental breakdown and rave-up filled with “woah-oh-oh”’s and dueling saxophones.
“Modern Girl” also arrives with a music video, directed by Alex Lockett, which captures a boisterous performance from the band.

Bleachers are back with “Modern Girl,” their first new music since 2021’s Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night.
In the wide canon of songs about modern life, Jack Antonoff and company sound more cheery than wistful, more David Bowie’s “Modern Love” than, say, Sleater-Kinney’s “Modern Girl.” With raucous saxophones and a scream, the singer/super producer kicks off a party jam about going out and shaking ass. The band has an equally fun time performing the track in its music video, directed by Alex Lockett.
“Modern Girl” brings Antonoff back to his own band after another couple of years of dominating pop music as a producer. Last year, for example, he lent a hand to Taylor Swift’s Midnights, The 1975’s Being Funny in a Foreign Language, and Lana Del Rey’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Bleachers even appeared on...
