In January of this year, Better Oblivion Community Center, comprised of Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst, surprised fans with a release of their self-titled debut album. The record is available digitally and physically by Dead Oceans. Today, the new band came out with two new songs in addition to a live set for NPR’s Tiny Desk. The set featured stripped-down performances of “My City,” “Exception to the Rule,” and the album’s top single “Dylan Thomas.”
The new original track, “Little Trouble” and a re-work of album track “Sleepwalkin’” is included in Better Oblivion Community Center’s tour only 7” which is available digitally. “Sleepwalkin’” was also recently performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Both of the new songs were recorded in December with producer Mike Mogis who has worked with Bright Eyes and First Aid Kit.
Additionally, the duo shared the video for “Dylan Thomas,” directed by Japanese Breakfast’s Michele Zauner, with fans. This was performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS’ This Morning where they also performed “Didn’t Know What I Was In For” and “My City.”
