Nebraska‘s pop/rock trio BRIGHT EYES, formed and orchestrated by singer-songwriter Conor Oberst released their exquisite 11th LP, titled Five Dice, All Threes, last year.

The Nebraska band are now back with a new single, called 1ST WORLD BLUES
which they teased a couple of days ago on their social media with the message
Ska Is Back on a McDonalds highway sign.

And it’s a ska thrill alright.

Oberst: “It’s an homage to ska in all its waves. From Desmond Decker to Tim Armstrong, we’re just happy to add our track to the bin. The video is inspired by NYC 90s hip hop, which like ska, has a long tradition of unifying people & using celebratory music to convey subversive political themes. To be played loud. Windows down. Summertime.”

Sounds and feels like you’re
ska-ing on a merry-go-round.
Big fun!
