Better Oblivion Community Center, the new band from Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst, recently surprise-released their self-titled debut album. The record is currently available digitally and is set for a physical release on February 22nd via Dead Oceans.
Today, the band is sharing the video for the album’s lead single, ‘Dylan Thomas,’ directed by Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner. Speaking on the origins of the clip, Zauner states: “Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst are two of my favourite songwriters and lyricists of our time, so it was an honour to get to work with them on the visuals for their new project together. As always I worked with Adam Kolodny, my DP and creative collaborator to bring this cross between an Eyes Wide Shut LA mansion party and the Great Northern Hotel to life.” Last week, the band performed the song 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.’
