Conor Oberst’s Bright Eyes will return this fall with their 10th studio album, Five Dice, All Threes. Due Sept. 20 from Dead Oceans, the project includes guest turns from Cat Power, the National’s Matt Berninger and the So So Glos’ Alex Orange Drink. First single “Bells and Whistles” is out now.

The song’s accompanying video was filmed in Oberst’s Omaha, Ne., home base. “This is a song about the many little details in life that can seem insignificant or frivolous or temporary at the time but eventually end up forming your destiny,” Oberst says. “And it’s also kind of a whistle while you work scenario.”

More from Spin:

Bright Eyes will support Five Dice, All Threes with a handful of fall dates in the U.S. and Europe, beginning Sept. 19 at New York’s Brooklyn Steel. The group will also play the Riot Fest and Best Friends Forever festivals as part of the itinerary.

The new album is the follow-up to 2020’s Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was, the group’s first album in nine years and debut for Dead Oceans after it spent more than a decade on the homegrown Saddle Creek label.
