Bright Eyes 2.0 (Conor Oberst & Nate Walcott)

Our guests today are none other than Conor Oberst and Nate Walcott from the legendary indie rock band Bright Eyes. Having shaped the landscape of indie music for over two decades, Bright Eyes has become one of the most influential bands of their generation. Today, they’re releasing their brand-new album, Five Dice, All Threes, a stunning addition to their already impressive catalogue that blends the essence of their past work with fresh new ideas. In this episode, we chat with Conor and Nate about what it’s like putting out music after 20 years, their approach to songwriting, and how they captured the spirit of multiple Bright Eyes records in this one. We also dive into their experience self-producing the album and reflect on the triumphs of the process. Plus, we hear when they’ll be back in Australia to share these new songs live.
