Bright Eyes has released a new song titled "1st World Blues," which showcases ska influences and features a video directed by Jared Sherbert. The band describes the track as an homage to ska from artists like Desmond Decker to Tim Armstrong. The video draws inspiration from '90s NYC hip hop and highlights the genre's legacy in uniting people through music. Bright Eyes previously put out the album Five Dice, All Threes last year, and will continue their North American tour beginning August 26 in Ojai, California.
'1st World Blues' is an homage to ska in all its waves. From Desmond Decker to Tim Armstrong, we're just happy to add our track to the bin.
The video is inspired by NYC '90s hip hop, which like ska, has a long tradition of unifying people & using celebratory music to convey subversive political themes.
Bright Eyes released the album Five Dice, All Threes last year. In March, Oberst & co. teamed up with Cursive for the Bandcamp-exclusive single "Recluse I Don't Have to Love."
Bright Eyes will resume their ongoing North American tour on August 26 in Ojai, California.
