"“We... have never been looking for this work to become quicker or easier,” he explained in a post that also included pictures from the studio. “we were never frustrated by the randomness and magic it takes, we do it for that exact reason.”"
"“so to everyone who is gassed up about the new ways you can fake making art, by all means drive right off that cliff. we're genuinely happy to see you go. generations coming will be engaging in the ancient ritual of writing, recording, and performing as it comes to us from god.”"
"“as we embark on this strange detour where the bad actors will willingly reveal themselves through slop, and the struggling greats will be further spread thin to make an honest living doing what they were put on earth to do, we (myself, the band and everyone I know frankly) remain more dedicated than ever to reveal what comes from within.”"
"“nothing more embarrassing than considering there is a way to optimize that holy process.”"
Creating music is framed as a holy process involving randomness and magic. The work is described as something people do for those qualities rather than for speed or ease. Efforts to optimize the process with AI are condemned, with people attempting to fake making art portrayed as driving toward harm. The stance emphasizes dedication to revealing what comes from within through writing, recording, and performing. The message also claims that bad actors will expose themselves through low-quality output, while struggling artists will face harder conditions. A new Bleachers album is set for release on May 22, with tour tickets available.
