Bright Eyes - Five Dice, All Threes (2 VINYL LP) Black Vinyl

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.
Even with this rich history behind them, these new songs exude a visceral thrill like nothing they have attempted before.
Oberst has always sung in a voice that conveys a sense of life-or-death gravity.
At times throughout Five Dice, All Threes, you may feel worried for him; other times, he may seem like the only one with the clarity to get us out of this mess.
On the self-produced album, Bright Eyes 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 Oberst’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.
This time around, the band invites such like-minded voices onto the record with them, with notable guest appearances from Cat Power (“All Threes”), The National’s Matt Berninger (“The Time I Have Left”), and Alex Orange Drink, the frontman of the New York punk band The So So Glos, who co-wrote several songs and shares a climactic verse in the surging “Rainbow Overpass.”
