Bright Eyes - Noise Floor (Rarities 1998-2005)

Limited Edition LP on "Champagne Wave" colored vinyl

Bright Eyes have announced the third wave of releases as part of their ongoing Companion project. The project, announced last March, sees the band re-releasing their entire catalog, each album accompanied by new recordings. This wave includes Cassadaga: A Companion, The People's Key: A Companion, and Noise Floor (Rarities 1998-2005): A Companion.

The announcement also comes with the release of three new Companion series recordings:"Middleman" (Cassadaga), "When You Were Mine," (The People's Key), "Blue Angels Air Show" (Noise Floor).

Of the project, Bright Eyes founder Conor Oberst says, "We are really excited about the final installment of our companion EPs. It's been an interesting journey revisiting and reimagining all of these old songs. 54 songs total seems ridiculous now looking back, but I'm glad we did it. This new batch includes great contributions from Alynda Segarra (Hurray For The Riff Raff), Johanna and Klara Söderberg (First Aid Kit), and an amazing cast of other fantastic musicians that brought these songs into the present tense. I hope all of the fun and neo-nostalgia we experienced recording these comes through to the listeners."
