Exit Interview: The National’s Matt Berninger On Double Albums, Cincinnati And David Letterman
Conor Oberst’s Bright Eyes will return this fall with their 10th studio album, Five Dice, All Threes. Due Sept. 20 from Dead Oceans, the project includes guest turns from Cat Power, the National’s Matt Berninger and the So So Glos’ Alex Orange Drink. First single “Bells and Whistles” is out now.
The song’s accompanying video was filmed in Oberst’s Omaha, Ne., home base. “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,” Oberst says. “And it’s also kind of a whistle while you work scenario.”
