Conor Oberst wrote "Bells and Whistles" with Alex Orange Drink, and this 2024 Bright Eyes track takes its title at its word, at least on the whistle side: Alex Orange Drink and Amy Carey both whistle on it. The credits also stack up a little brass-and-reed section, Josh Johnson on alto, tenor and baritone saxophone and Vikram Devasthali on trombone, over Macey Taylor's bass, Jason Boesel's drums and percussion and extra percussion from Griffin Goldsmith. Oberst sings lead with Alex Orange Drink on backing vocals; Adam Roberts engineered, Pierre de Reeder did extra engineering on the horns, and Mike Mogis mixed it.
