“The album’s title suggests consistency, but in fact, it is a thrillingly unpredictable musical journey” DIY Magazine

“Most importantly, Oberst’s relentless self-reflection, which finds its voice in both poetic hyperbole and frank admissions, provides both mystery and catharsis, and the underlying tension this creates fuels the band’s artistry.”RIFF Magazine

Bright Eyes have released their tenth studio album Five Dice, All Threes via Dead Oceans along with a new music video for “All Threes” (featuring Cat Power).

Of “All Threes” Conor Oberst says, “We wanted this song to have some space – and let the piano part have room to stand out and feel special. Something about the mood of it just made me think of Chan [Marshall of Cat Power]. ”

The debut of the “All Threes” video follows the videos for “Rainbow Overpass” and “Bells & Whistles,” which were released over the summer to critical acclaim.

Self-produced, and recorded at ARC Studios, in Omaha, Nebraska, Five Dice, All Threes is a record of uncommon intensity and tenderness, communal exorcism and personal excavation. These are, of course, qualities that fans have come to expect from Bright Eyes, nearly three decades into their career. The tight-knit band of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott tends to operate in distinct sweeping movements: each unique in its sound and story but unified by a sense of ambition and ever-growing emotional stakes. The beloved band’s 10th studio album features guest performances from long time friends Cat Power, The National’s Matt Berninger and The So So Glos’ Alex Orange Drink. Even with this rich history behind them, these new songs exude a visceral thrill like nothing they have attempted before.

As is usual with Bright Eyes’ work, the music comes loaded with subtext that invites deep listening—the signature touch of a band who has always honored the album as its own exalted work of art. With the new songs the trio embrace the elusive quality that has made them so enduring and influential across generations and genres, bringing their homespun sound from an Omaha bedroom to devoted audiences around the world. In Conor’s songwriting lies a promise that our loneliest thoughts and feelings can take on grander shapes when passed between friends, blasted through speakers, or shouted among crowds. Five Dice, All Threes is as confessional and unguarded as Conor has sounded in years. Throughout these timelessly constructed yet unabashedly modern songs, he earns his place among a rare class of songwriters who have grown more fearless and boundless with age.
