Some of them recorded in his basement on an old eight-track analog system, and others accompanied him i [ read more ]

Twenty songs written and recorded between 1995 and 1997 on a reel-to-reel four-track by the young Conor Oberst. The songs vary between guitars, synthesizers, acoustic, and programmed drums. Thought provoking, yet subtle. Sad, yet uplifting. Depressingly honest.
