Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded primarily in basements and featuring a revolving cast of Omaha scene collaborators, Conor Oberst's second full-length showcases his profoundly trembling, vulnerable vocal delivery. The emotionally devastating, fiercely poetic lo-fi arrangements laid crucial early groundwork for the impending indie-folk and emo revivals of the new millennium.
