Английская Википедия:Gone Now
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Gone Now is the second studio album by American indie pop act Bleachers, released on June 2, 2017.[1][2] The album deals with the difficulties of growing old as well as struggling with losing people in life, told over the course of day and a lifetime.[3] It takes inspiration from the pop sounds of the 1980s, mixed with a modern view.
Artwork
The cover features Antonoff wearing a white prince outfit with his hand placed over his heart in a Polaroid style frame. According to Antonoff, the photo of himself on the cover is a view of what he might look like if he were dead. In a series of videos breaking down the album, he stated:
That's why on the cover -- everyone's like, "what are you, a dictator?" And I'm like no, man, I'm dead. I'm supposed to be dead. I thought if I was dead, what would I look like? I'd be black and white, and I'd be regal, and dressed up. That's the picture you'd have on a mantel if I wasn't here anymore.[4]
The outfit was also used on the tour for Gone Now.[5]
Reception
Gone Now received mixed reviews. While some praised its ambitious production and anthemic singles like Don't Take the Money, others found it uneven and overly indulgent. [6]
Antonoff's lyrical themes were criticized for feeling hollow, detracting from the album's overall impact.[7] Despite moments of brilliance, such as nuanced musical approaches in tracks like "All My Heroes," the album's narrative coherence was questioned.[8]
