Is this their first music video since The People’s Key? I don’t remember any videos from Down in the Weeds.
I liked the single. It sounds like Bright Eyes, both in Conor's delivery and the lyrics which are core for me. They've touched so many styles instrumentally over the years that it could have been anything, but this has the right amount of quirk and flare to it for what it is. If its a good indicator of the rest of the album it will at least be good, but in my heart of hearts I'm hoping for something great. Give me another Lifted, my dear sad wordy boy. From one to another. And close it with something nice and long that has the kitchen sink thrown in.
you can hear around a minute of the new song by adding the song to your instagram story haha. holy fuck it sounds good. giving desaparecidos vibes
I think I like these two songs the least of any lead singles from a Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst record in the time I've been a fan, but I have faith I'll still end up liking the record as a whole.
