Ahh, it feels like just yesterday that we were treated to Conor Oberst's eponymous release with the Mystic Valley band, a collection of stripped down folk songs that any angry but maturing late teen/early college student could appreciate. But, what's that, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley band are already putting the finishing touches on a new record? It's called Outer South ? It's out May 5th via Merge ? Yes. Yes. Yes, a new record is well in the works. But for those thinking that the relative short turn around time [...]

Here are a dozen outtakes from my recap of 2008 , in no particular order. Some of the albums herein are promising debuts from new bands or lovely follow-ups from old ones, and others are disappointments from bands that I'm fond of. First Frost by the Lucksmiths (November 4, Matinee) The first Lucksmiths song that I ever heard was "From Macaulay Station," and it inspired me to write a short story (at this time I was a writer and not a mere music blogger). Just saying that kind of [...]

For all the benefits that come with being a member of the deep, dark, scary medium of music blogdom, there are as many negatives: inane hours, having your stories copied by other music publications, specifically ones based in Chicago named after tools for tossing hay, which don't give credit when credit is do, and having to deal with Katy Perry press releases on a day-to-day basis. Then there's always episodes of miscommunication like the one that occurred this past Saturday which resulted in one lonely white male (ie., myself) standing in a daze outside New York's Terminal 5 after being [...]
Taylor Hollingsworth is a man to watch. Onstage, he is reservedly seductive. But damn, can he play guitar. You just need to watch him. Also, tonight I realized that I am not a fangirl, and I do not get starstruck. I probably realized this after Man Man. When I see someone "famous," I do not scream. When I meet someone famous, I do not scream. In fact, I simply don't talk. This isn't because I'm stricken, but it's more because my shyness takes on again. I guess with people who have to deal with [...]

Last weekend, Consequence of Sound traveled to Austin, Texas to take part in summer's last major music festival. Austin City Limits always seems phenomenal, but by weekend's end, this year's edition certainly proved to be one of the most memorable. In the coming days, our staff will share its thought of and experiences from the festival… Austin City Limits only sold out one day entirely this year, and that was Saturday, September 27th. With headliners like Beck and Robert Plant, along with buzz acts like MGMT and Fleet Foxes which secured some of the [...]

conor oberst visited the world cafe today to talk about and play a few songs from his new self-titled album with the mystic valley band. you can hear the entire thirty-minute interview and set, in which oberst discusses, among other things, writing songs, mainstream acceptance & accolades, veganism & eating locally, and politics, over here . of course if you just want to hear the songs, why then you've come to the right place. they're each fine, though our favorite of the three is probably "get-well-cards." points, too, for the locally-inspired "sausalito." "i got the reason [...]

It's been 15 years since the world was first introduced to Conor Mullen Oberst . At an age when most of us were still concerned with cooties and whether we'd get the back seat on the bus ride home from school, the 13-year-old Omaha native, the third son of Matthew and Nancy Oberst, was busy releasing Water , a nine-track album on the upstart Lumberjack Records. 15 years later, Lumberjack Records now goes by Saddle Creek, and Conor Oberst has transitioned from a conflicted teenager, known for his emotionally bombarding lyrics, to a musically conscious adult, [...]

Conor Oberst è uno dei più prolifici cantautori americani sia con i suoi gruppi, primi su tutti i Bright Eyes , sia come solista. Viene da Omaha e ha cominciato a pubblicare i primi dischi su Saddle Creek all'età di 13 anni e da lì non si è più fermato tanto che nel 2005 ha fatto uscire lo stesso giorno due dischi diversi (di cui uno, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning , veramente bello). Ora sotto il nome di Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band ha preparato un nuovo omonimo [...]

So this has been one of the busiest weekends in recent memory 'round these parts, leaving me exhausted, depleted, physically sore. I'm packing up the house I've lived in for three years, heading for hopefully greener pastures closer to downtown and the lovely neighborhood where I work. This entails slogging through a lot of crap, selling off everything that's not bolted down, and getting ready for this stager lady that my realtor provides to come in on Thursday while I am at work and move all my furniture around and decorate in ways unknown to me. So when [...]
Though Conor Oberst has essentially always been a solo artists throughout his more than decade long music career, on August 5, the 28-year-old is gearing up for the release of his first ever album under his actual name. Since teasing us with live tracks of his upcoming, self-titled release and offering the first bit of dates to what will be an extensive North American tour, the acclaimed Nebraska native, backed by his newly formed Mystic Valley band , has dropped a mastered version of "Danny Callahan", the first single [...]
I'm sure you're all familiar with Bright Eyes so I won't really get into that right now. The news is that Conor is releasing a "solo album" of sorts with a band called the Mystic Valley Band. It's due out in the fall, and if these two tracks are any indication it should rock a fair amount of socks off. [mp3] Souled Out!!! [mp3] Danny Callahan Buy some Bright Eyes: Amazon | [...]
