Wondering what that sweet new song at the end of last nights Girls was? Give the credit to none other than Bleachers and Grimes. In a move similar to St. Vincent's "Teenage Talk" last week, on Sunday night (March 15), fans of HBO's Girls got a first listen at a brand new song from Claire Boucher and Lena Dunham's boyfriend Jack Antonoff. Introducing, the poppy and beautiful new single "Entropy."
Bleachers clearly brings the same sensibility to "Entropy" that Antonoff brought to Taylor Swift's throwback pop smash hit album 1989, blending in a rolling yet light drumbeat and bassline with sweet, melodic vocals and plenty of sonic layering.
Grimes' sound works well with this established Antonoff formula. Boucher's soft cooing voice makes the reverberation of Antonoff's production sound natural.
The marriage of Grimes and Bleachers is a welcome presence in the world of pop music, which is probably more than we can say about Marnie and Desi on Girls. (Seriously, how cringe-worthy was last night's episode?!)
Listen to the new Grimes and Bleachers track "Entropy" below, via Stereogum:
"Entropy" is just the latest collaboration between Bleachers and Grimes. Antonoff and Boucher previously worked together on "Take Me Away" from Bleachers' 2014 debut album Strange Desire. The song also helps to flesh out a killer soundtrack year for Girls, which has previously featured music from St. Vincent, Chet Baker, Sleeper Agent, The Zombies and more.
