Jack Antonoff‘s new band Bleachers has already released one of 2014’s best songs in the form of infectious pop/rock anthem “I Wanna Get Better” but the Fun. guitarist raises the bar even higher with new single “Rollercoaster”. This is the 30-year-old’s ode to Bruce Springsteen‘s classic 1984 hit “Dancing In The Dark” and it explores a similarly rousing synth-rock soundscape.

At this rate, Bleachers’ debut LP Strange Desire (due July 15) is shaping up to be a must-hear listening experience. The band unveiled the full tracklist today and there are a couple of surprises. Namely, features from Canadian electro-pop queen Grimes and counter culture icon Yoko Ono. They appear on cuts called “Take Me Away” and “I’m ready To Move On/Wild Heart Reprise” respectively. See all the songs and listen to “Rollercoaster” after the jump.
