Bright Eyes have today revealed details of their awaited new record Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was, due to be released 21st August on Dead Oceans.
The album will be the Omaha band’s tenth, and as its title might suggest, is said to focus on an ‘apocalyptic level of anxiety’. The announcement is also accompanied by a new single, ‘Mariana Trench’. Watch the beautifully illustrated video by Art Camp below.
News of the trio’s return had been anticipated since the beginning of the year, when their social media accounts were reactivated and followed by a string of new singles such as ‘Persona Non Grata’ and more recently ‘One and Done’. The new record will be the band’s first since 2011.
