BRIGHT EYES - I'm Wide Awake, Its Morning - (Pre Owned ) Vinyl

Bright Eyes' frontman Conor Oberst reflects on the band's evolution, from their early innocent releases to the breakthroughs with "Lifted" and the simultaneous albums "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn" and "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning." The latter featured hit singles like "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" and "Lua," with "First Day of My Life" later voted the Number One love song by NPR Music's reader's poll.

Oberst acknowledges the tension and excitement during this period of success, marked by Bright Eyes' rising fame and the socio-political climate. The band's Tonight Show debut in 2006, where they performed the caustic anti-Bush anthem "When The President Talks To God," showcased their willingness to use their platform for political expression.

Today, Oberst revisits the extremes embedded in Bright Eyes' music from that era, offering a new perspective. The reworked Digital Ash tracks now feature "harmonica and mandolins – folky vibes," while the Wide Awake songs undergo a transformation with a detached nihilism filter.
