Bright Eyes have dropped ‘Rainbow Overpass’, the second preview of their upcoming album Five Dice, All Threes. Following lead single ‘Bells & Whistles’, the song features vocals by Alex Orange Drink of the So So Glos. Check it out below.
“Alex and I wrote a lot of the songs together, but ‘Rainbow Overpass’ is the only one he gets [to sing] a verse,” frontman Conor Oberst said in a statement. “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.”
Five Dice, All Threes will be relesed on September 20 via Dead Oceans.
