Nebraska‘s pop/rock trio BRIGHT EYES, formed and conducted
by singer-songwriter Conor Oberst released their top-shelf
11th album, named Five Dice, All Threes, last year.
The trio are in a productive flow. They have canned an
8-track EP now, titled Kids Table. It’s out on Sept 26.
A month ago we got the first track with the ska-juiced tune 1st World Blues.
The 2nd preview DYSLEXIC PALINDROME is a country-tinted musing,
perfect for Oberst characteristic melancholic voice. It features vocalist and
songwriter Alynda Segarra from Americana band Hurrah For The Riff Raff.
Oberst: “Alynda Segarra is one of the most soulful people I have ever encountered.
Everything that passes through them is haunted by the weary ghost of American music
past. I have had the good fortune of recording and performing with them on many occasions and I am always blown away by Alynda’s ability to channel what is both intangible and universal.
Touching.
Endearing.
