Reuniting for their first studio album in nine years, Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nathaniel Walcott deliver a sprawling, emotionally complex comeback. The record balances their signature apocalyptic folk-rock with elaborate orchestral arrangements, featuring contributions from the Flea and Jon Theodore. It serves as a dense, anxious meditation on personal tragedy, aging, and global uncertainty.
