Bright Eyes are announcing their second wave of “Companion” releases, which consist of the band rereleasing their entire catalog, plus some new recordings. On November 11, they’re sharing Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground: A Companion, I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning: A Companion, and Digital Ash In A Digital Urn: A Companion. These follow last May’s reissuing of A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997, Letting Off The Happiness, and Fevers And Mirrors.

Among the guests featured on the upcoming Companion EPs are Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, Becky Stark, and Maria Taylor. There are also covers of Azure Ray’s “November,” Townes Van Zandt’s “Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel,” and the Faint’s “Agenda Suicide.”

Today, Bright Eyes are sharing three new Companion series recordings — “You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will,” (from Lifted), “Old Soul Song (For The New World Order)” (from Wide Awake), and “Gold Mine Gutted” (from Digital Ash). Check those out below.
