While 2002's LIFTED was the record that blew Bright Eyes and its hyper-poetic frontman, Conor Oberst, into the public's consciousness and up the Billboard charts, its predecessor, FEVERS AND MIRRORS, put him on the next-big-thing map. The third official album in the band's catalog, FEVERS AND MIRRORS finds Oberst & Co. codifying the vision nascently established on LETTING OFF THE HAPPINESS. Oberst furiously wrestles with his emotions as he upends confessional singer-songwriter tropes while producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis frames his whims in shifting, episodic textures that include pulsating organs, dulcimers, and vibraphones.
As with all Bright Eyes albums, this one begins and ends with Oberst's strong songwriting and preternatural gift for dramatic, narrative lyricism. "A Scale, A Mirror, and Those Indifferent Clocks" includes the line "Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat/you contract on the day you accept all you see". Oberst seems to be kicking and screaming against this possibility through a strained larynx--most notably on the anthemically strung-out "Calendar Hung Itself" and the eruptive refrains of "Sunrise Sunset". While "Something Vague" and "Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh" each predict the operatic alt.country the band would perfect on CASSADEGA. Here Oberst is still ...
| | Bright Eyes Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground CD (2002)
Letting Off The Happiness
$9.75  
Nebraskan singer/songwriter Conor Oberst began combining troubadourism with emo rock at a ridiculously early age, inspired by the older, more literate Nebraska cult hero Simon Joyner (whose huge influence is somehow always overlooked by journalists). Recording prolifically for local indie label Saddle Creek, Oberst (as Bright Eyes, with or without accompaniment) gradually refined his Neil Young-with-ADD sound over the years. LIFTED OR THE STORY IS IN THE SOIL...is his most ambitious outing to date, featuring keyboards, horns, woodwinds, strings, etc., all laid out in a panoramic manner that stands in marked contrast to Oberst's decidedly lo-fi beginnings. The songwriting seems to have jumped up a notch too, and for what's stil essentially a singer-songwriter record, that doesn't hurt ...
| | Bright Eyes Digital Ash In A Digital Urn CD (2005)
Letting Off The Happiness
$10.79
Precocious indie wunderkind Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) released two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN--in early 2005, and the latter proved to be a stylistic curveball that veered sharply away from his emo-folk sound and into synth-heavy electronic music. The results sometimes ...

| | Mekons So Good It Hurts CD (1988)
Letting Off The Happiness
$12.25
Only slightly less fabulous than its immediate predecessor, 1987's HONKY TONKIN', with SO GOOD IT HURTS the Mekons began to move away from the folk and country experiments which had dominated their music in the mid-'80s. While there's plenty of Susie Honeyman's old-fashioned fiddling and Sally Timms' cowgirl squeals on this record, the songs themselves combine elements of straight-up rock & roll, punk, reggae, and psychedelia, even going so far as to include a straightforward version of the Rolling Stones' "Heart of Stone," sung beautifully by Timms.
Rather like contemporaneous albums by The Fall, with whom the Mekons otherwise have little in common, SO GOOD IT HURTS is neatly balanced between rock and roll and the band's own quirkier muse. Their next album, the only slightly ironically-titled THE MEKONS ROCK'N'ROLL continues down the rockist ...
