Better Oblivion Community Center - Better Oblivion Community Center

Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst team up for a tight-knit folk-rock album about alienation, solitude, and our potential to better ourselves against bad odds. Better Oblivion Community Center is a collection of quiet, wandering thoughts: the sound of twin souls burrowing deeper into their common ground.

The dup kept their plans under wraps for months as they wrote and recorded in Los Angeles in the summer and fall of 2018. By the tail end of the year rumours were swirling and a mysterious phone number appeared on social media platforms. Fans of both artists began receiving enigmatic brochures in the mail and a bus stop advertising the Better Oblivion Community Center appeared in their hometown of LA. Then, the album appeared, without warning, on streaming services, and within the hour the band were performing, for the very first time, on network television. The rest is history.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Dead Oceans in 2019. Includes download card.
