Title NoteAt least temporarily dropping the band name Bright Eyes, which Omaha native Conor Oberst has recorded under since his mid-teens, CONOR OBERST serves as a reintroduction to the singer-songwriter. From the lack of album title to the minimalist cover photograph of the artist lounging in a hammock, CONOR OBERST is at the same time free of artifice and deliberately reminiscent of the singer-songwriters of the 1970s. With folk and country elements increasingly prominent in his work recently, the move is neither unexpected nor out of character, and as a whole, CONOR OBERST is both a worthy successor to Bright Eyes' twangy 2007 release CASSADEGA and one of his strongest albums, period. Recorded in the rural Mexican village of Tepoztlan with a fresh group of backing musicians known as the Mystic Valley Band, CONOR OBERST has the stripped-down, laid-back feel of vintage early '70s Laurel Canyon, halfway between Neil Young and Jackson Browne. Particular highlights include the magical country-rock road song "Moab" and the impassioned character study "I Don't Want To Die (In A Hospital)." CONOR OBERST is available as a digital download, standard CD, and vinyl LP.
