Our Take

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats (or berets, if you're feeling fancy) because we're diving headfirst into the musical time capsule that is "A Collection Of Songs Written And Recorded 1995-1997" by Bright Eyes. This album is like a musical Delorean, taking us back to a time when floppy disks were still a thing and Justin Timberlake had ramen noodle hair.

Bright Eyes, aka Conor Oberst, serves up a piping hot plate of lo-fi goodness on this compilation of tracks from the mid-90s. It's like stumbling upon a hidden gem at a thrift store, except instead of a hideous sweater, you find poignant lyrics and haunting melodies.

From the jangly guitars of "Padraic My Prince" to the heart-wrenching balladry of "A Poetic Retelling Of An Unfortunate Seduction", each song is a glimpse into the mind of a young Oberst as he navigates the tumultuous waters of growing up and falling in and out of love.

Sure, the production quality may not be top-notch, but that's part of the charm. It's like listening to your favourite band play in your best friend's garage - raw, intimate, and oh so satisfying.

So, put on your flannel shirt, grab a can of Surge, and prepare to be transported back to a simpler time with "A Collection Of Songs Written And Recorded 1995-1997". Trust me, it's a ride you won't want to miss.

About the artist

Bright Eyes

Conor Oberst, the enigmatic frontman of Bright Eyes, is a true indie rock icon whose raw emotion and poetic lyricism have captivated audiences for over two decades. With his trembling vocals and introspective songwriting, Oberst has cemented his place as one of the most influential voices in alternative music. But Bright Eyes is not just about Oberst. The band's dynamic sound is a result of the collaboration between Conor and his talented bandmates, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. Mogis's intricate production and Walcott's lush arrangements add depth and complexity to Bright Eyes' music, creating a sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful. Since their debut album, "Letting Off the Happiness," in 1998, Bright Eyes has consistently pushed the boundaries of indie rock, experimenting with different genres and styles while maintaining their signature sound. From the folk-inspired melodies of "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" to the electronic beats of "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn," Bright Eyes has never been afraid to take risks and challenge the status quo. With a discography that spans nine studio albums and countless EPs and singles, Bright Eyes has earned a dedicated fanbase that spans generations. Their music has been described as cathartic, introspective, and at times, downright heartbreaking. But above all, Bright Eyes is a band that reminds us of the power of music to connect us, to heal us, and to make us feel less alone in a world that can often feel overwhelming. So whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the world of Bright Eyes, one thing is certain: Conor Oberst and his bandmates will continue to enchant and inspire us with their music for years to come. Long live Bright Eyes.
