Description
[Machine Translation] There are words and there are melodies - this is why I keep writing songs. Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes moved to NONESUCH and created a solitary sound world. Delicate words and sounds become one song, and the songs spun together become an album. UPSIDE DOWN MOUTAIN" will be released soon! Bright Eyes is an American indie rock band. Conor Oberst is the singer/songwriter at the core of the band. He has been highly acclaimed as a "true American original" by Rolling Stone magazine, and has been praised by the British and American media as being in the lineage of great singer-songwriters such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young. The new album, entitled "UPSIDE DOWN MOUNTAIN," examines the contrast between the two extremes, looking up to the endless heavens and peering down into the depths of the unfathomable earth. By Oberst's own admission, the album has a "certain isolation" and "themes of loneliness, discrepancies, and regret emerge from the songs. However, the album was not a solitary effort, and Connor was joined by Jonathan Wilson (producer), Andy LeMaster (engineer), Macy Taylor (bass), and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills, as well as Swedish folk-rock duo First Aid The studio includes the Swedish folk-rock duo First Aid Kit. The album features quiet, delicate ballads with only vocals, guitar, and ethereal keyboards such as "Double Life" and "Artifact #1," rock and roll like "Kick," the horns and chorus of "Governor's Ball," and the Johnny Cash-like shuffle of "Hammond's Ball. From the quiet, delicate ballads with only guitar and ethereal keyboards to the rock and roll of "Kick," the horns and chorus of "Governor's Ball," and the Johnny Cash-esque shuffle of "Hundreds of Ways," the warmth of the sound is accompanied by Connor's delicate voice weaving sometimes poignant, sometimes thoughtful words.
