Following on from last year's self titled album, Bright Eyes man Conor Oberst has announced details of a new album, once again with The Mystic Valley Band.

The album will be called "Outer South" and features tracks written by Oberst along with Nik Freitas, Taylor Hollingsworth and Jason Boesel. Rumours suggest Outer South will be more of a band album compared to Oberst's last solo offering.

A full tracklist has yet to be announced, but Outer South will include the country song 'Nikorette' which the band performed last year on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien". Personally I preferred Bright Eyes, but Oberst was heading in a country Americana direction anyway so this is probably a good move for him.
