Bleachers release 'Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call'.

Much to the delight of fans, Bleachers have today released their long-awaited fan-favourite seasonal song, 'Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call', which Jack Antonoff has previously performed at his annual The Ally Coalition Talent Show.

About the new release, Antonoff says:

"‘merry christmas, please dont call’ is finally here. took a long long time to finish writing this. years. those who have heard bits and pieces at shows know the different versions and how the lyrics moved more or less hopeful/upsetting. can be hard to tell the story of someone you dont want around and still find a reason to tell it. maybe thats what it took so long to frame. had to also hold the hope of rearranging ones life. hi and goodmorning over here.

so this for anyone who has come to realize someone’s been chipping away at the them and does not intend to stop. something that happened to me a few years ago and was not fit for a bleachers album … was an island .. like a christmas song. i love how xmas songs are about hoping life gets better next time, hoping your baby comes home on xmas (or at least new years), hoping youre less on the floor next xmas…. that felt like the place to tell the story. so to anyone trying to drag you down, this is my best shot at closing the door to be more intact this xmas. dont call on the holdidays motherfcuker! love you all!"
