Listen to the band’s new song ‘Persona Non Grata.’
“You are not alone.
We are all in this together.
We, like so many others, had many plans for 2020.
We will be releasing a new album this year no matter what.
We also have lots of touring plans which we are now reassessing.
We will keep you informed as things progress.
“Until then, here is a song called ‘Persona Non Grata,'” the letter continues.
“We hope you like it.
And it has bagpipes!
Which is a first for us.
We hope this finds you and your loved ones healthy and safe.
Thinking of you fondly.
Your pals, Conor, Mike, and Nate.”
Bright Eyes have dealt with real-world travails before.
That album celebrated its 15th anniversary in January, around the same time Bright Eyes announced their comeback.
