On the brink of the release of their upcoming album Five Dice, All Threes, Bright Eyes have dropped their latest single from the full-length “Rainbow Overpass” featuring Alex Orange Drink of The So So Glos. Known to go big, it makes sense for the band to also announce an extensive North American Tour. The track follows their June release of “Bells And Whistles.” Where that song utilized easy-going instrumentations, “Rainbow Overpass” features gritty hits and fast-moving rhythms. Though they’ve collaborated before, vocalist Conor Oberst says this is the first time Alex has sung on one of their tracks. “He’s kinda… Read more »

It continues with a happy-go-lucky tune that juxtaposes the vocal fry and lyrical cynicism laid over it quite perfectly.

Conor Oberst sits in a dive bar, pulling on Winston Lights and throwing back intermittent gulps from a beer bottle. This isn’t the downtown New York- or Los Angeles-variety “dive” with the beautiful people and the perfectly curated juke box. This is the suburban Omaha sort, where a handful of pear-shaped, geriatric regulars sit drinking, solo, at two in the afternoon, mumbling conversations to themselves. The juke box plays only AC/DC. Oberst, better-known as Bright Eyes, is here — away from his handlers, bandmates and friends that dot the frigid Omaha landscape — to confront the perception, more or less,… Read more »
