If their recent social media updates are anything to go by, it looks like Bright Eyes are teasing a return to music this year.
Conor Oberst’s indie rock project has been inactive since touring 2011 album ‘The People’s Key’. But now the band appear to be gearing up for something coming in 2020.
Earlier this evening, Bright Eyes’ Twitter and Facebook accounts shared a post for the first time in a while, updating their artwork and inviting fans to follow the band’s newly launched Instagram account. The socials all bear the hashtag #BrightEyes2020.
The band’s official website has also been updated.
During the band’s hiatus, Oberst released a number of solo records, including 2009’s ‘Outer South’ as Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. He also revived his punk band Desaparecidos and teamed up with Phoebe Bridgers to release an album together under the name Better Oblivion Community Center.
Back in March, Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst covered a track from Death Cab For Cutie’s ‘Transatlanticism’.
