Description
Five Dice, All Threes is an extraordinary record that combines uncommon intensity and tenderness, communal exorcism, and personal exploration. Over nearly three decades, fans have come to expect such qualities from Bright Eyes. The close - knit group of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nate Walcott creates music in distinct, sweeping movements. Each creation has a unique sound and story, united by ambition and increasing emotional depth. Even with their rich history, these new songs offer a visceral thrill like never before. Oberst's singing voice always conveys a life - or - death gravity. While listening to Five Dice, All Threes, you might worry about him at times, and at others, he seems the only one with the clarity to solve our problems. On this self - produced album, Bright Eyes captures the elusive quality that has made them enduring and influential across generations and genres. They've taken their home - grown Omaha sound to fans worldwide. Oberst's songwriting promises that our loneliest thoughts can take on grander forms when shared among friends, played through speakers, or shouted in crowds. This time, the band invites like - minded artists. Cat Power appears on “All Threes”, The National’s Matt Berninger on “The Time I Have Left”, and Alex Orange Drink of The So So Glos co - wrote several songs and has a powerful verse in “Rainbow Overpass”. In the studio with Oberst's long - time bandmates, they chose a fast - paced approach inspired by The Replacements and Frank Black. They aimed for textures that burst out like wild splashes of paint on a blank canvas, preferring first takes and spontaneous decisions. Five Dice, All Threes resists easy classification. In “El Capitan”, they blend a Johnny Cash - like rhythm with funereal horns, shouted vocals, and poignant lyrics. This album might be the most fun in the Bright Eyes catalog, filled with sing - along hooks and energetic performances. Alongside these high - energy rockers, there are contemplative and psychedelic tracks like “Tiny Suicides” and “All Threes”. The latter's jazzy piano solo and free - associative lyrics are unprecedented in their work. As always, the music is full of subtext, inviting deep listening. In the game of threes, a perfect roll is the goal. But in Bright Eyes' world, perfection is different. Our flaws give us authority, and meaning is found through the dark journey. Five Dice, All Threes is thrillingly alive, making you feel like you're in the room shouting along and finding the strength to move forward. It's both classic Bright Eyes and a glimpse into their future. Tracklist: A1. Five Dice A2. Bells and Whistles A3. El Capitan A4. Bas Jan Ader A5. Tiny Suicides B6. All Threes B7.
