Bright Eyes
Although many musicians joined the band's rotating lineup, Bright Eyes was primarily the songwriting vehicle of Conor Oberst, a quivery-voiced Nebraska native who first attracted attention in 1994 -- when he was only 14 years old -- as the singer and guitarist for Commander Venus. Oberst proved to be a prolific musician, joining multiple bands (including Commander Venus, the Magentas, Park Ave., and Desaparecidos) while also co-founding Saddle Creek, an influential label that helped broadcast "the Omaha Sound" to a national audience. Nonetheless, he dev...[more]

Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst is that voice.'Lifted or the Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground' is the latest, most significant release from Oberst and the notable cast of Bright Eyes [ read more ]

Bright Eyes is an ever-changing entity. Its only constant is singer/songwriter Conor Oberst, whose lyrical and musical ability continue to amaze us. When Conor finished writing these ten songs, he gathered together a large group of musicians, some of them close friends and others mere acquaintances, to lay down tracks of keyboards, drums, samples, pedal steel guitar, piano, and various other instruments. Some of them recorded in his basement on an old eight-track analog system, and others accompanied him i [ read more ]

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 ma [ read more ]

A swirling, euphonious record, at times bursting with bombastic confidence and country swagger, and at others loose-limbed and mesmeric. If I'm Wide Awake... was the 'New York City album', then Cassadaga is 'the America album', in which Conor Oberst chronicles his travels around the country and articulates his sense of history in the landscape. Oberst's impassioned prose is still recognizable in every track, but the songs are rich with elaborate production, cinema-sized orchestration, and at t [ read more ]

"In 1995, at the age of 15, Conor Oberst left the Omaha, NE, group Commander Venus and began working on the material for his solo project, Bright Eyes. A Collection of Songs gathers the results: 20 compositions recorded during the singer's mid- to late teens. Even at a young age, it's clear that Oberst is an extremely talented songwriter, seemingly incapable of penning a bad tune (except in the odd case when you sense he didn't try). Despite his obvious gifts, however, there are plenty of sour moment [ read more ]
