Bright Eyes are back with a homage to ska, new single '1st World Blues'
Bright Eyes release ska-inspired new single with star-studded music video featuring skaters and dogs in Brooklyn setting.
Bright Eyes have shared new single '1st World Blues', accompanied by a music video directed by Jared Sherbert with animations from Sparks Studios.
The track marks a new sonic direction for the band, while the video, filmed in Brooklyn, NY, features appearances from professional skater Nelly Morville, The So So Glos, and producer Adam Reich, alongside newcomer Butter the dog.
"'1st World Blues' is an homage to ska in all its waves," Bright Eyes say. "From Desmond Decker to Tim Armstrong, we're just happy to add our track to the bin. The video is inspired by NYC 90s hip hop, which like ska, has a long tradition of unifying people & using celebratory music to convey subversive political themes. To be played loud. Windows down. Summertime."
