Bright Eyes unveil the new single 'Rainbow Overpass'

With their eagerly-awaited new album arriving next month, Bright Eyes have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Rainbow Overpass' follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Bells & Whistles' in previewing their tenth LP 'Five Dice, All Threes', which is out on the 20th September via Dead Oceans.

Speaking about the new offering, frontman Conor Oberst said, “Alex and I wrote a lot of the songs together, but ‘Rainbow Overpass’ is the only one he gets [to sing] a verse. 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.”
