So I really wasn't going to post this album because I really wish you would all buy it, but like I said to AJ, its like if your drug dealer decided to stop dealing and expected you to quit buying. All you junkies can still rely on me for your fix, so here you go.
This is Oberst's first "solo" release in over 10 years, and frankly I think its amazing. While some songs bring to mind the folksy sounds of Bob Dylan, and others are reminiscent of the twangy country-rock of Tom Petty, all the sounds are 100% Conor Oberst. The album further maps the maturation of Oberst, and his definite movement away from the dark, brooding, sadness he is famous for.
If you really like the album, as goes for any of these albums you should do your part in keeping the music industry alive and buy a hard copy of the album, or a t-shirt, or make sure you see them live. Anything.
The single out right now is called Souled Out!!!, but my favorite song right now is the slow, melodious Milk Thistle which closes out the album.
Here's the video for Souled Out!!!:
Stay Classy Assholes,
