Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released simultaneously with the acoustic-driven 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning', this contrasting record ventures deeply into programmed percussion, synthesizers, and digital manipulation. Conor Oberst's trademark quivering vocals and existential poetry are reimagined through complex electronic soundscapes, assisted by extensive contributions from Jimmy Tamborello.
