More about: Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes have released the third single from their forthcoming tenth album. Still no news on the exact date we'll receive the unnamed project - though new single 'One and Done' is keeping us happy until then.

Another prescient single written before the onset of Covid-19 but teeming with present themes, 'One and Done' observes a ravaged world a cynical observer always predicted.

Bass struts, strings blossom and ripple, and keys tinkle sinisterly along a faintly haunted single filled with cinema - pinned together, as always, by the poetry and beautiful vocals of songwriter Conor Oberst.

Listen:

It follows March's 'Persona Non Grata' (which we reported "oscillates in pain, each lyric hitting its mark with the thud of an asteroid landing") and April's equally prescient 'Forced Convalescence'.

2020 is the twentieth anniversary of Fevers and Mirrors, and the fifteenth of Digital Ash In A Digital Urn and I'm Wide Awake It's Morning.

Bright Eyes are signed to Dead Oceans for their comeback. No news yet as to when their tenth album will arrive.
