Bleachers release “Rollercoaster” video

October 28, 2014

Bleachers, the new project from fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff, have released a music video for “Rollercoaster.” The track is taken from Antonoff’s debut album, Strange Desire, which is out now via RCA. Watch the video below via Pitchfork, and let us know your thoughts.

On the video, Antonoff told Pitchfork:

“The idea of getting on top of a car and playing on a highway felt distinctly 90s in a way that excited me about videos I saw growing up. Didn't think it would be acutely dangerous — the breaks ended up going out and we literally almost died. There's something special about almost dying for a video. Beyond that, “Rollercoaster” was written while I was driving home on the NJ turnpike. The song always felt like driving on a highway to me sonically. That part was perfect. Working with Richard was a dream because of his wide scale cinematic feeling. The car crash in his film Dom Hemingway is possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life.”
