Bright Eyes have finally followed up a spate of new singles by confirming their tenth album Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was. Out on Dead Oceans in August, it'll contain all the singles released this year - plus new cut 'Mariana Trench'.

The world needed Bright Eyes, didn't it? 'Mariana Trench' is an uplifting special from the cult band, with brass and fortifying percussion making for the most positive slice of indie heaven from the band so far this year.

Dreamy, tinged with anxiety and yet charged with an irresistible joy, 'Mariana Trench' will likely join the ranks of excellent fan favourites.

Hear it:

The single follows April's 'Forced Convalescence', May's 'One And Done' and March's 'Persona Non Grata' - the trio's first new music in nine years. 

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.
