Tours of Note: Conor Oberst
June 20th, 2008 - by Eddie
Conor Oberst, epic frontman for Bright Eyes, inches closer to releasing his solo eponymous album (slated to drop on Aug. 5). Click on his name back there and you’ll be able to stream two new songs, “Danny Callahan” and “Souled Out!!!”
“Danny” has Oberst trademark frail-sounding voice that makes me immediately think of guys with large heads on tiny thin bodies clad in super tight t-shirts and jeans (am I wrong?).
“Souled” is a catchy tune, which is strange to say since so many Bright Eyes songs leaves me sad and depressed (and sometimes sleepy). There’s even a point when Obrest laughs. I didn’t think he could smile.
