Bright Eyes‘ highly anticipated new album Five Dice, All Threes is out in September (pre-order on red and orange vinyl), and they’ve given us a second early taste with “Rainbow Overpass,” a raw, urgent track featuring Alex Orange Drink of The So So Glos. “Alex and I wrote a lot of the songs together, but ‘Rainbow Overpass’ is the only one he gets [to sing] a verse,” Conor Oberst says. “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.”
Having announced a fall tour back in June, Bright Eyes are also announcing a more extensive 2025 tour, which runs through January, February, March, and April in North America. See all dates below.
There’s a new NYC show at Brooklyn Paramount on April 17, and they’ll also be in NYC before that for a sold out show at Brooklyn Steel on September 19. Tickets for all new dates go on sale Friday, August 9 at 10 AM local, with an artist presale starting Wednesday, August 7 at 10 AM local.
