Our Take

Bright Eyes' sophomore album, "Letting Off the Happiness," is a deliciously dreamy concoction that will have you bopping your head in sheer delight. Conor Oberst's quirky lyrics and eclectic musical arrangements combine to create a truly unique listening experience that is sure to leave you craving more.

From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of "If Winter Ends" to the upbeat folk vibes of "Contrast and Compare," this album has a little something for every music lover. Oberst's distinctive voice cuts through the mix like a knife, conveying raw emotion and vulnerability with every note he sings.

The production on "Letting Off the Happiness" is top-notch, with each instrument shining brightly in the mix. The interplay between the guitars, keys, and percussion creates a lush sonic landscape that is both captivating and hypnotic.

Overall, Bright Eyes' "Letting Off the Happiness" is a masterclass in indie folk songwriting. It's like a warm hug on a cold winter's day - comforting, familiar, and oh so satisfying. So grab a cup of tea, curl up by the fire, and let this album wash over you like a warm, fuzzy blanket. You won't regret it.

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.
