Last year’s self-titled LP from power duo Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst restored our faith in indie rock. Not content with soundtracking the entirety of our January 2019, Better Oblivion Community Center are back with copies of this limited edition tour 7-inch to soundtrack our January 2020. Front side sports “Little Trouble,” an outtake from the album sessions with Oberst on lead vocals that would become a staple in their subsequent tour. The flip contains a slightly more upbeat (ahem, ‘Daydreamin’) version of album highlight “Sleepwalkin,” invigorated with a pulsing synth bassline, electrified drums and power ballad synths. Pressed on clear and orange splatter colored wax with double-sided lyric insert and full color pic sleeve.

• clear splatter colored vinyl 7"
