Nebraska‘s indie trio BRIGHT EYES formed by singer-songwriter Conor Oberst back
in 1995 announced the birth of their 11th LP, baptized Five Dice, All Threes a couple
of weeks ago. It’ll see the day of light on September 20th.

Following Bells And Whistles, we get another new taster. RAINBOW OVERPASS
is a rare Bright Eyes rush. It features DIY punky artist Alex Orange Drink.

Oberst: “Alex and I wrote a lot of the songs together, but ‘Rainbow Overpass’ is the only
one he gets [to sing] a verse. He’s kinda like my hype man, getting a little Beastie Boys on
the shit! They grew up on punk rock and the Beasties, so there are a lot of little bursts of
other voices. I like that. It creates energy. Sometimes music can feel flat until you get into
a live situation, when there’s adrenaline and raw energy. Instead of working in reverse,
where that happens as we tour, I was trying to get some of that energy onto the record.”

Wake up people,
Bright Eyes
are on a roll.

Yea I’m not slowing down
I’m speeding up”
