We'll always have I'm Wide Awake It's Morning...and that other album that came out that day
Sad story friends...Conor Oberst is disbanding Bright Eyes. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he said "It does feel like it needs to stop at some point. I'd like to clean it up, lock the door, say goodbye" in regards to his long time musical pseudonym. It was a long, beautiful and usually heartbroken journey, and although I am sad to see the end of Bright Eyes, I respect his desire to distance himself from a musical project he started at the age of 15. Rumor has it that he is in the midst of recording his final Bright Eyes album and that it will be released some time next year. In related news, Oberst has teamed up with My Morning Jacket's singer/guitarist Jim James and bad-ass-indie-mother-folker M. Ward for a new project aptly titled Monsters of Folk. Their debut album is due September 22 and you can download the single "Say Please" if you to the bands website. In order to do so, you will first have to say 'please'. It sounds like a bad joke, but its really what you have to do to get the track.
