Jack Antonoff and Jamie Oborne have announced a new venture and extensive partnership that will see the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, and his band Bleachers signed to Oborne’s independent label, Dirty Hit. The label, which is also home to The 1975, Rina Sawayama, Wolf Alice, Beabadoobee, and more, will now be the host of Bleachers’ upcoming live album.
The 21-track album, titled “Live At Radio City Music Hall”, will be released this Friday, August 25th and will feature special guest Bruce Springsteen on the track “Chinatown”. Recorded in July of last year, the album is a document of their highly successful tour, Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night.
The news of the new collaboration and partnership comes as Antonoff has also signed a global agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group. Moving from Sony, Antonoff will stay with his longtime A&R Jennifer Knoepfle, who joined UMPG last fall as executive vice president and co-head of A&R.
“Very proud to be working with Jamie and his entire team – we’ve known each other for some time now and our connection has deeply inspired me,” Antonoff said in a statement. “Feeling wild excitement for everything in the works and as seen in the picture above I’m just ready to be driving around playing my new records and dreaming about new ideas with Jamie. Feels so special and rare to be supported like this and just very grateful our paths crossed.”
The partnership between Antonoff and Oborne is sure to provide fans with plenty of new music, and excitement. Be sure to pre-order “Live At Radio City Music Hall” today, and stay tuned for what’s next from Jack Antonoff and Jamie Oborne.
