Bright Eyes Stream New Album On You Tube

• 3rd Feb 2011

Bright Eyes will release The People’s Key on February 14th 2011 on Polydor. The People’s Key – the band’s seventh studio album – is the eagerly awaited follow-up to 2007’s acclaimed Cassadaga. The album is now streaming in its entirety for all to hear on You Tube, a full two weeks ahead of release.

Since 2006 the once revolving cast of Bright Eyes players has settled around permanent members Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott, with additional musicians joining them in the studio and on tour. Fully realized and bursting with charisma The People’s Key is an assured and accomplished album, artfully arranged and filled with the engaging and mesmeric songwriting for which Oberst is renowed.

Recorded in Omaha, Nebraska, at the band’s own ARC Studios, The People’s Key was produced by Mike Mogis and engineered by Mogis and Andy Lemaster.

For the release of the album Bright Eyes will play three UK shows in February as part of a short European tour including London’s The Scala on the day the album comes out. On 23rd June, Conor Oberst and co. return to headline the Royal Albert Hall. All UK dates are sold out.
