Bleached – the Los Angeles-based duo of sisters Jessie and Jennifer Clavin – share their fourth and final pre-release single, ‘Rebound City,’ from their forthcoming album, Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?, due July 12th via Dead Oceans. Bleached have championed their new direction through a trio of exhilarating singles; ‘Kiss You Goodbye,‘ ‘Hard To Kill‘, and ‘Shitty Ballet.’ “Rebound City” is a guitar-driven, power-pop song compiling tales of post-breakup hookups and romances and the consequences that come with them. Throughout, Jennifer references various mishaps – waking up with a friend’s ex, an obsession with a stranger, and the remorse that comes with breaking someone’s heart. “This song is a brief history of the mistakes I’ve made…except there really are no mistakes, they’re all lessons in the end. No regrets! Listen loud.”
“If you ever wondered what watching MTV in its heyday of the early ’80s was like, [Bleached] capture the vibe perfectly in [‘Kiss You Goodbye’].. Post-punk is getting a revival and it sounds so sweet.” – Refinery29
“This newfound perspective has sonically opened new doors for [Bleached]. . . ‘Hard to Kill’ is a catchy, disco-tinged banger about looking death in the face and saying, ‘Not today.’”
– MTV News
“What exactly are Bleached cooking up with their new album? After dancing a raucously acoustic ‘Shitty Ballet’…the Clavin sisters continue steering away from the punkish sound that they previously made their name on with this disco-stepping [‘Hard to Kill’].“
– Vulture
“Bleached perfects punk with a delicate touch.” – Nylon on ‘Shitty Ballet’
Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough? is Jessie and Jennifer Clavin’s first LP written from a place of sobriety. That clear-eyed perspective serves as the guiding force in every corner of its sound, yielding a courageous, honest, and sonically ambitious album.
Bleached returned to their dynamic as sisters – Jessie handled the bulk of the instrumentation and Jennifer handled the lyrics and melodies. Producer Shane Stoneback (Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells) helped open every door to experimentation, wanting to be exploratory while keeping the sound singularly Bleached. The album glimmers with inspiration found in touring with the likes of The Damned and Paramore whose arena-ready, incisively catchy pop was a palpable influence helping to push Bleached’s sound in a new realm.
