"Better Oblivion Community Center" is the debut studio album by American indie rock duo Better Oblivion Community Center, composed of Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers. The album was released on January 24, 2019, through Dead Oceans.
Bridgers and Oberst wrote and recorded the album in secret in Los Angeles in mid- to late 2018.
Writing for Rolling Stone, Will Hermes called its music "soft rock for hard times", while Pitchfork's Sam Sodomsky called it a "tight-knit folk-rock album". The album is a loose concept album about the Better Oblivion Community Center, a fictional dystopian wellness facility.
The album had an elaborate rollout featuring cryptic brochures and a telephone hotline. They performed "Dylan Thomas" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on January 23, 2019. The album was released the next day.
On January 29, 2019, the band announced their initial concert tour of the United States and Europe along with releasing a music video for their initial single, "Dylan Thomas", directed by Michelle Zauner of the band Japanese Breakfast.
