Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst has spoken to NME about “megalomaniac” Elon Musk, “bullshit” artificial intelligence, his hopes and fears about the forthcoming US presidential election, and how all of this and more has fed into the band’s new album ‘Five Dice, All Threes’.The band’s 11th album, and their second since their return from hiatus with 2020’s ‘Down In The Weed Where The World Once Was‘, features collaborations with Cat Power and The National’s Matt Berninger, and was co-written in part by Oberst and Alex Levine (aka Alex Orange Drink) of New York indie punks The So So Glos.“Alex was in LA in the winter of 2023 writing songs with Tim Armstrong from Rancid and Operation Ivy who has a studio here for different projects,” Oberst told NME. “He was staying with me at my house and I think he got sick of just watching me smoke cigarettes on my porch doing nothing.“He was like, ‘What are you doing today? Nothing? OK, well let’s write a song.’ We started hanging out with guitars on the porch, very old school, and wrote a lot of songs.

He’s kinda like my hype man, getting a little Beastie Boys on the shit,” said frontman Conor Oberst.“They grew up on punk rock and the Beasties, so there are a lot of little bursts of other voices.
