Bright Eyes have released ‘St. Ides Heaven.’ The Elliot Smith cover is taken from Letting Off The Happiness: A Companion – part of their forthcoming Companion series releases, the first three of which are to be released on Dead Oceans on May 27.
Last month, the band unveiled plans to re-issue all nine of their studio albums as a Companion series with additional recordings created together at their ARC Studios in Omaha. The album reissue series will be partnered with the release of a Companion EP of five new recordings of songs contained on the original release plus a cover version from an artist they found particularly inspiring at the time of the original recording.
The Companion series gives Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott a chance to revisit some of their earlier material and re-work it entirely – with the occasional addition of some talented friends. This ambitious project will see the release of 54 new recordings over the coming year.
