Four Winds

With the once revolving line-up of musicians finally settled on the three constants of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott, Bright Eyes spent much of 2006 in the studio working on their follow-up to the acclaimed simultaneous releases I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. The first single, Four Winds, is presented with 5 exclusive B-sides from the 2006 recording sessions. Retaining the simmering glow of its predecessors, Four Winds is full of the magic that brought Bright Eyes to international attention. Carefully played, deftly poetic and quietly enchanting, this EP has a wandering country charm and all of the story-telling seductiveness of earlier work. Four Winds does far more than just whet the appetite for the new full length slated for April 10th, 2007; it stands alone as an excellent addition to the Bright Eyes catalog.
