Bleachers have announced their upcoming fourth studio album, Bleachers, out March 8th via Dirty Hit. As the latest preview, Jack Antonoff’s band has shared the new single, “Alma Mater,” featuring vocals from his frequent collaborator Lana Del Rey.
Spanning 14 tracks, Bleachers is described in a press release as “Antonoff’s distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life, on his position in culture, and on the things he cares about.” It’s also said to be the perfect music for “driving on the highway to, for crying to, and for dancing to at weddings.”
Indeed, “Alma Mater” features Antonoff’s signature ’80s sound and nostalgic lyrics, with Del Rey providing backing vocals for lines like, “Well, summer’s gettin’ hotter/ Threw her T-shirt down the pike/ Screamin’, ‘Fuck Balenciaga’/ Right past the Wawa.” Stream the track below.

The Greek weird wave meets The Postman Always Rings Twice in The Waiter, a minimalist, darkly deadpan neo-noir from debuting writer-director Steve Krikris. With scant dialogue and an offbeat brand of humor, the film follows a lonely Athens server caught up in a fatal love triangle that throws his well-ordered life into disarray. Competently made, with crisp wide-screen cinematography and an economic sense of storytelling, this subtly promising first feature has toured a handful of European festivals (Thessaloniki, Istanbul, Luxembourg) and deserves more exposure abroad.
