The band’s 10th studio album will land on September 20 via Dead Oceans and features guest appearances from the likes of Cat Power, The National’s Matt Berninger and The So So Glos’ Alex Orange Drink. It serves as the follow-up to their 2020 album ‘Down In The Weeds Where The World Once Was’.

You can pre-order/pre-save the album here. To coincide with the announcement, the band have shared the album’s irreverent lead single, ‘Bells & Whistles’.

“This is a song about the many little details in life that can seem insignificant or
frivolous or temporary at the time but eventually end up forming your destiny,” said frontman Conor Oberst. “And it’s also kind of a whistle while you work scenario.”

1. ‘Five Dice’
2. ‘Bells and Whistles’
3. ‘El Capitan’

In other news, Oberst recently instigated a surprise Better Oblivion Community Center reunion with Phoebe Bridgers when she made an appearance at one of his shows in March.

The pair released a self-titled album together in 2019, which they then took out on tour, before the Bright Eyes frontman made an appearance on Bridgers’ 2020 album ‘Punisher’. They hadn’t done anything since, sparking rumours of a change in their relationship.

Now, the pair reunited during a show at LA’s Teragram ballroom, which formed part of Oberst’s ‘Conor Oberst And Friends’ residency tour. They performed three songs together – a rendition of Bright Eyes’ classic ‘Lua’ and their Better Oblivion Community Center song ‘My City’ (for which Bridgers needed a lyric sheet passed over) before they wrapped up the show with a performance of Oberst’s 2014 song ‘Double Life’.
