Our Take

Bright Eyes' "Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil / Keep Your Ear To The Ground" is the epitome of indie folk rock perfection, blending raw emotion with poetic lyricism in a way that only Conor Oberst can. The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "The Big Picture," setting the tone for a rollercoaster of introspection and self-discovery.

Oberst's signature cracked vocals shine on tracks like "Lover I Don't Have to Love," a poignant ballad that will have you singing along at the top of your lungs. The album's title track, "Lifted," is a sprawling masterpiece that showcases Bright Eyes' ability to craft intricate and layered soundscapes that draw you in and never let go.

But it's not all somber introspection on this album. Tracks like "False Advertising" and "Method Acting" inject a dose of energy and urgency, keeping the listener on their toes and reminding them that Bright Eyes is not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with their sound.

Overall, "Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil / Keep Your Ear To The Ground" is a classic album that solidifies Bright Eyes' place in the indie music hall of fame. It's a journey of self-discovery and emotional catharsis that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the power of music. Do yourself a favour and give this album a listen. 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.
