3 ...according to our Clinton on 29 November 2006.
One of the main drawbacks of this job is that every couple of years or so I
have to write about a record by Bright Eyes, for the only reason that out
of the 3 Norman Records staff, I will be the one who is the least
rude. Today I have to write about two new Bright Eyes albums.
It must be my lucky fucking day. First up is 'I'm wide awake it's morning' . Mr
Oberst desperately wishes he was either Simon Joyner or Daniel
Johnston. He is neither. Instead he collaborates with Emmylou Harris.
That's all you need to know about this record. The next one is called 'Digital
Ash in a Digital Urn' and differs from the other album in that it has a
more 'electronic' production. It has a more edgy feel to it and Oberst's
voice is double/triple tracked so it sounds a bit more interesting. If I had to
buy one of these albums it would be this one. In fact on first listen I kinda
quite like it. I better go for a lie down. We have these on CD and vinyl.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
