Bleachers: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- 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
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.
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
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
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 😭❤️
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
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..

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. 😁
I absolutely LOVE how layered, and experimental Jack is.. He's truly one of a kind 🍅
So beautiful to hear how Jack varies every song of the original version, giving every live performance its on Interpretation!!🍅
91 is a beautiful song 😍 can't wait to hear the studio version
This Tiny desk has been underrated. GIVE BLEACHERS THE LOVE THEY DESERVE!!
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

Ok same 😂
I absolutely love how everyone in the band were smiling once they finished "Stop Making This Hurt", just a beautiful grin from everyone
Drinking game: shot every time he pushes his glasses up
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SCREAMING
91 is a beautiful song. "I know what what I'm not.".

they're so good!! i wish they would've sung how dare you want more cause im obsessed with that song🥰🥰🖤🤍
This is a 10/10. Can´t wait to see them live.
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.
Chinatown is soooo beautiful. it actually hurts me :')
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.
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
Glad to know that 91 will make me cry every time I listen to it!
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.
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
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. 💚💚💚
the new Bruce Springsteen album sounds great
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
Jack has such a good energy.
Possible the best tiny desk concert, thank you !
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
love coming back to this tiny desk ❤️
Yay! Another one! This is the type of comfort I need in my life.
“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.
their next album is gonna be one of the best of 2021
Thanks for the emotions.
Hopefully this will make your day. Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music.
This is amazing, thank you once again NPR!
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.
It feels like I missed this even though I’m listening for the first time.
amazing 😩❤
Thank you Npr, and thank you for the music Bleachers. I can't wait for this.
That first song ripped my heart out of my chest and tore it into a million pieces. I loved every second!!
Love this so much.
Love how they did this video! I transfer VHS, and camcorder tapes for a living and love seeing them combined with modern video!
Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music ❤️ This made my day ❤️
Love the lofi camera vibes
I don't know why but watching them play put a wide smile on my face.. thank you for this tiny concert
This premiered exactly when I needed it.,
Surely Jack can afford glasses that actually stay on his nose.
Trampoline was one of my favorite albums ever. Thanks Jack!
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!
What a great personal concert. Well done boys.
Thank you NPR for high-quality content
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.
More! We need more!
I LOVE them, voice, their songs, and music!! CONGRATS 👍 💓💓💓💓
Love this band so much with my whole heart
Fantastic song!
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
love this
OMGGGG IM SO EXCITED LFGGGGG
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!
Yesssss i need this
this version of chinatown just made me cry tbh
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
Ces 12min40 me font beaucoup de bien. Merci pour tout et vive la vie wsh ♥️
I’m so excited for this album.
Love this especially the first song
I cannot wait for the Chicago concert this October!!
Sax player is GODLIKE thank you for the vibes sir
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 :)
Is it bad that i like this version of 91 better than the studio version??
So happy that I could help write some stuff, thanks Jack for taking my suggestions!
god i love jack more than anything he's a genius
this feels like a little home video. I love it
I CAN'T STOP CRYING OF HOW MUCH I LOVE JACK😭
