Conor Oberst has unveiled the third video from his critically acclaimed new album Upside Down Mountain.
We're excited to share “Common Knowledge," a companion piece to the album's first video, "Zigzagging Toward The Light."
The video's release comes just a few days before the acclaimed singer/songwriter embarks on the second leg of a coast to coast tour, beginning September 14th in Salt Lake City.
Conor has also announced plans to release two previously unheard songs, “Standing On The Outside” and “Sugar Street” - recorded during the Upside Down Mountain sessions - for this year's Black Friday Record Store Day on November 28th.
Upside Down Mountain, his debut album for Nonesuch Records, was released in May and has been hailed by critics as a creative triumph for the Bright Eyes frontman.
The fall tour, featuring special guest Jonathan Wilson, will make stops in Salt Lake City, Austin, Dallas, Seattle, Portland and more. Los Angeles fans can see him play a very special co-headline show with folk legend John Prine at the Greek Theater on October 5th. All dates below.
