The album Strange Desire was released by RCA in 2014. The single I Wanna Get Better reached #10 on the Billboard Alt Rock chart. Antonoff is a solo act in the studio but he has formed a touring band. After Fun. went on hiatus in 2015, Bleachers released the 2017 album Gone Now. Don't Take the Money was the lead single. It reached #12 on the Billboard Alt Rock chart. Antonoff wrote the song with Lorde. That's her on background vocals. Antonoff produced with Adele producer Greg Kurstin and Vince Clarke of Erasure. Antonoff says the song is about not selling out which is ironic as some have suggested he sold out years ago. Antonoff contributed five songs to the 2018 film Love, Simon. And he is releasing a new album in 2021. He is also a very successful producer especially with Taylor Swift. But he has also worked with Lorde, Lana Del Rey and plenty of others.
