Bright Eyes 2024

Five Dice, All Threes is a record of uncommon intensity and tenderness, communal exorcism and personal excavation. These are, of course, qualities that fans have come to expect from Bright Eyes, nearly three decades into their career. The tight-knit band of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nate Walcott tends to operate in distinct sweeping movements: each unique in its sound and story but unified by a sense of ambition and ever-growing emotional stakes.

The occasional supergroup and individual genius collective Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - also known, as and when, as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crosby and Nash, Crosby and Stills, Crosby, Nash & Young, Stills & Young (and almost certainly every other combination possible), Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young remain the ultimate Rubik’s cube of a group rarely performing or recording with the same collaborators twice in the same period. This new compilation illustrates this tendency superbly, as it features rare tracks, demos and live obscurities by all manner of combinations of the generic band, recorded during the first four years of their collaborative existence. The tracks hereon are from the following sessions and shows, all at once here making for a sublime and delightful rarities collection, which does not duplicate a single cut from the CSNY compilation on Rhino, DEMOS.

In one sense, it’s easy for artists—songwriters, specifically—to express their feelings in their work. After all, that’s what the lyrics are for! But it’s much harder to convey emotional energy in how you play, slash at the guitar, and the structure of the music itself. That’s precisely why Girl and Girl’s Sub Pop debut, Call A Doctor, feels like such a vital, electrifying shock to the senses. Not since the early work of Car Seat Headrest or Conor Oberst’s widescreen emotional brutality as Bright Eyes has indie rock managed to come across as this intimate and grandiose, as the Australian quartet led by Kai James lay a lifetime’s worth of woes—mental health, the human race’s planned obsolescence if you’ve been living on this cursed rock you know what we’re getting at—across a canvas of indie rock that feels both timeless and in-the-moment.
