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 ]

Containing what are undeniably his finest songs to date, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, two separate albums being simultaneously released, provide unequivocal proof that 24 year-old Oberst belongs to the lineage of great American songwriters. These albums are a soundly articulated slice of modern American life rolled into two very different records.

Inherent in youth is the kinetic energy, vitality, and passion that has the potential to move masses. Every new generation picks a voice that will offer them something to identify with -- something to prove that the crazy things they're feeling and the anger and disillusionment that they're having is normal. 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 ]

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 ]

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.

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 ]

One of a pair of new Bright Eyes singles being released, Take it Easy (Love Nothing) offers a sneak preview of Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, one of two full-length albums set to hit stores in January. Why two? They are two decidedly different singles, previewing two decidedly different albums. Digital Ash in a Digital Urn features the more eclectic and pop-based sounds Bright Eyes has only alluded to in the past.
