Bright Eyes are back indeed - the band announced tour dates

Bright Eyes have announced their first live shows in more than nine years, along with plans to release new music. Unlike their previous nine albums, this project won't be released through Saddle Creek Records - they have signed with the Indiana-based indie Dead Oceans, as Rolling Stone reports. The label has just posted a minute-long teaser of the band in the studio; a warning - no guitars or voice, just plenty of strings, like at a symphony rehearsal. Listen/watch below.
