Jack Antonoff discusses starting Bleachers, the lyrical and musical ides behind debut album Strange Desire, writing with others, and why it’s hard for some people to accept a person being in two bands at the same time. You’ve been doing a bunch of different stuff to promote this album all over the place – TV shows, podcasts, magazines – and it’s almost like you’re a household name now. What’s that been like to go through? I get followed a little bit more often [laughs], but besides that there’s nothing really that different. It’s all kind of the same stuff. Even back years and years ago with Steel Train, we were doing late night shows then, interviews and touring like crazy. No matter how much things change or they get bigger, your body is still physically doing the same thing, going from city to city, talking about the album, playing the shows. It’s weird. It’s like a parallel universe, because there’s so many similarities, but at the same time things have shifted a lot. Hardly anyone
