Bright Eyes have shared ‘Bells and Whistles’ ahead of the release of their tenth studio album ‘Five Dice, All Threes’ on 20 September via Dead Oceans.

With its whistling, stomp-along intro, ‘Bells and Whistles’ is a jaunty song that celebrates the little details in life that can form your destiny. From not feeling well and reluctantly doing meet and greets to the ‘field of dreams, u-turns and limousines’, Conor Oberst touches upon all kinds of life experiences as he narrates in troubadour style – throwing in references to Princess Diana and the New York Mets for good measure.
