Bright Eyes star Conor Oberst has made his new, self-titled solo album available to all via a stream on his website.
Conor Oberst will be officially released through Wichita Recordings on August 4 but it is already up on his official website as a live stream for those who’re too impatient to wait a week or two.
A single, ‘Souled Out!!!’, will follow on August 25 as a special one-track 7” with a special etching on the B-side by artist Kaite Murphy, creator of the Grace McSorely comics.
DiS is told the track will also be made available via all the normal digital outlets.
im on the fourth track
so far it's pretty bad
it sucks
surprise, surprise.
i like the initial two tracks that
were available for streaming, not heard the rest of the album though!
i hope i'm not disappointed
Nothing
this man makes could ever suck. Yes it's a little more stripped back and reflective than his last albums but this isn't a bright eyes record. Think of it as a debut. I love it.
I think
that's the issue. It isn't a Bright Eyes record so it is bound to be slightly different, i remember hearing Bright Eyes for the first time and thinking that it wasn't as good as Desperacidos, but they grew on me. The bloke is pure talent!!
He obviously
has his reasons for deciding that those songs suited a solo album rather than a new Bright Eyes record. I think that shows on these songs.
exactly what i was thinking
on my first listen.
sounds promising
listened to it once and thought it was great!
he really needs to do another desaparecidos record
like immediatley
it's almost imperative
Agreed
:-)
So is this technically a
conor oberst album or a conor oberst and the mystic valley band album?
