Go Behind the Scenes of TIMEs Coney Island Photo Shoot With Jack Antonoff
Jack Antonoff isn't timid when it comes to his wardrobe. "I like to feel like a 7-year-old who's allowed to dress themselves for the first time or something," says the musician, who is profiled in the new issue of TIME. It seems like a pretty spot-on description for the 30-year-old musician behind Bleachers  who rose to popularity as the lead guitarist of Fun.  as he nonchalantly played games and buckled himself into rides at Coney Island's Luna Park during a recent photo shoot for TIME. Though there's a palpable nostalgia in Bleachers' debut album Strange Desire, Antonoff explains that the record isn't all about lingering in the past  it's about looking toward the future. "I feel like I think about that all the time  how to push on, how to not leave too many of the pieces in the past, how to not take too many of them with you and become strange," Antonoff says, chuckling. In the video above, take a behind-the-scenes look at Antonoff's shoot with photographer Geordie Wood and hear more about the inspiration behind the album.
