Bright Eyes

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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.

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 ]

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 ]

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.
