It’s a beautiful package for a beautiful album. The album is a 2x LP with one translucent red and one translucent orange disc, with a cut out through the middle of the jacket that showcases both discs (front and back). Combine that will the bass playing of Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers) and drumming of Jon Theodore (Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age) and you’ve got a Jackson Pollock of sound. It’s an ever-expanding canvas of sounds, samples and noises. On Persona Non Grata there is a bagpipe solo and on Mariana Trench we get a taste of Baritone sax. I’ve probably listened to this album more than any others this year, and I’ve yet to not find something new each time. Combined with Connor Oberst’s pensive, stream of consciousness vocals it’s a compelling mix of music. The song levels up at every turn, starting with just a guitar and piano, adding drums, then bass, orchestra, lap steel, and then finally a choir… It’s an avalanche of sound where the closer it gets to the end the more power it builds. Start with Dance and Sing, the second track on the album (the first track is mostly noise). It’s a perfectly crafted audio cocktail that if all you saw was the recipe you’d never think the ingredients would work together, let alone form something that blends so effortlessly. It’s thoughtful, emotional, and offers new surprises every time you listen. The most recent release, Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was is a moving collage of sound. It’s been almost 10 years since Bright Eyes released an album and they have not missed a beat.
