Conor Oberst hasn't released an album of new material since Bright Eyes' 2011 LP The People's Key. But today he's announced a new solo album, Upside Down Mountain -- his first release under the Conor Oberst name since 2009's Outer South -- and shared its first single, "Hundreds Of Ways." It's a buoyant rocker with an Afro-Caribbean rhythm and a robust horn section. Check it out; tour dates below.
