Better Oblivion Community Center (Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst) - (January 24, 2019) Album • Page 2

*Texts wife to not throw out the pamphlet. It's NOT junk mail*

 

I just called that # again today to see if there was a new message. It’s back to the first message which just says look forward to 1/23

 

Fun google searches: MARCUS GUNN & JAW WINKING PTOSIS

 

Relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) or Marcus Gunn pupil is a medical sign observed during the swinging-flashlight test whereupon the patient's pupils constrict less (therefore appearing to dilate) when a bright light is swung from the unaffected eye to the affected eye.

 

Got one!

 

My brochure came today too. Came sealed in a blank white envelope. No return address.

 

Has this been shared on here yet?

 

Smash hit

 

Nope. Neat!

 

So after I listened I checked my last.fm and saw the band name, and there are two other tracks that one person has scrobbbled by them this week, so I’d think these are the pre-release singles:

 

This thread should be buzzing right now!

 

Buzz buzz

 

That was really beautiful. Hyped

 

The postage marker on my envelope said the brochure was sent from zip 47403 which is for Monroe County, Indiana. weird.

 

Buzz

 

That’s definitely them harmonizing at the very end of the track. Of course Spotify lists no one on the song credits. Bastards!

 

Got a pamphlet!

 

Between getting the pamphlet yesterday, the teaser on Spotify, and my current obsession with both Conor and Phoebe I'm not sure I've been more excited for any project before!

 

wish i could just fall asleep until next week.

 

Looking like 10 songs. That's with me assuming the teaser is not part of the record. I'm obsessed right now with trying to find new information. Sorry for flooding the thread

 

i dont think the teaser is part of the album. feels like it would be an intro if it was but according to the screenshot someone posted from their apple music, im guessings its just those 10 songs...unless its some sort of interlude or something

Better Oblivion Community Center (Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst) • forum.chorus.fm

 

Exactly my thought process based on that original screenshot. If it was on there, it probably would've been the intro.

 

brooklyn vegan claims to have info that preorders are next monday and the album release is slated for 2/22. kinda funny they are using chorus as reference for the project too lol.

Is Better Oblivion Community Center a new Conor Oberst/Phoebe Bridgers band?

 

pretty generic stuff but they also have a new message up on the phone line.

 

My wallet is ready to go on Monday! I don't even need to hear a song first!

Also, for any doubters that this is a Phoebe/Conor project, for what it's worth Phoebe, Conor, Lucy Dacus, Tim Kasher, and Cursive all follow the Twitter page.
