• Conor Oberst has been writing, recording and performing his songs since he was thirteen years old, primarily with his band Bright Eyes, as well as with Desaparecidos, Commander Venus and Park Ave. Since the release of his first cassette, Water, in 1993, Oberst has been hailed as the heir to an American Songwriting tradition, and compared to the likes of Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen. Bright Eyes released 8 critically acclaimed albums on Saddle Creek.
  
  In 2008 Oberst signed to Merge Records and is returning to his early recording roots with an eponymously self-titled album. Recorded in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México during the months of January and February 2008 with The Mystic Valley Band (Nate Walcott: Electric Piano, Organ; Jason Boesel: Drums, Voice; Macey Taylor: Bass; Nik Freitas: Electric Guitar; Taylor Hollingsworth: Electric Guitar).
