Bright Eyes Share New Track, ‘Persona Non Grata’

It's the first new music from the trio in nine years

With Bright Eyes having previously been announced to play this summer’s End Of The Road festival, a new track has now emerged from Conor Oberst and co.

Titled ‘Persona Non Grata’, it is the trio’s first new music in nine years and can be heard above. It’s also been confirmed that a new album is on the way following the band signing to US label Dead Oceans for their return.

The band said that they "will be releasing a new album this year no matter what," in a note shared via social media. You can read it in full here. The album, which is as yet untitled, will be Bright Eyes’ first since 2011’s The People’s Key.
