Conor (Bright Eyes) Oberst and Neva Dinova frontman Jake Bellows’ friendship dates back to 1996, but this is the first time they’ve pooled resources. It’s a fascinating union, too?Bellows’ warmly weatherbeaten delivery nuzzling close to the fireside, Oberst’s a blast of cold air.

Too short at just over 20 minutes.
