Oddly accessible collection of B sides and lost tracks from Bright Eyes, the project of Conor Oberst, whose ability to craft songs of heart-rending delicacy and razor sharp bitterness remains unmatched and unquestionable

Compulsive and challenging fifth album from Bright Eyes, the folk/country project of the Desaparecidos, Conor Oberst
