Conor Oberst - Souled Out

Souled Out by Conor Oberst

2...according to our on Fri 05 Sep, 2008.

'Souled Out' is the new single by Conor Oberst, Bright Eyes head honcho and all round whinging poet. His strutting sub-blues schtick on this plodding FM radio cop-out makes the rest of the US underground sound like proper groundbreaking and all that. Nobody likes poor Conor in this office and the silly twat is lying in a hammock on his album sleeve so he's obviously a lazy self-satisfied little prick who's lost any degree of pioneering spirit and is resorting to half baked bluesy rock in an effort to line his bulging pockets with fat wads of Yankee $. Good man! One sided etched jobbie to fleece the fans & waste some more of the worlds oil..

TRACKLISTING:
A. Is Souled Out !!!! B. N/A – It is An Etching

OVERVIEW: the genius behind Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst

 This recording was made in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México during the months of January and February 2008.  In Tepoztlán, a place known for Aztec Magic and Extra-Terrestrial Sightings, a temporary studio was created in a mountain villa called Valle Místico at the outskirts of town.  It was produced by Conor Oberst with much help from engineer and long time associate Andy LeMaster.  A special band was assembled for the recording, known amongst themselves and to friends as The Mystic Valley Band.  It was there at Valle Místico that Conor and  the band lived and worked for that time in near perfect harmony, often unaware of the hour or the day.   The result is his first solo album in thirteen years, following Water (1993), Here’s To Special Treatment (1994) and Soundtrack To My Movie (1995).  In that time he has recorded and preformed in many bands and musical projects including Commander Venus, Park Ave., Desaparecidos, and most notably Bright Eyes, his main musical vehicle for the past decade.
The self-titled album will be released on Wichita Recordings.

The Single comes as a one sided 7” complete with artwork etching on side B and is limited to 700 copies
