Conor Oberst has been enchanting audiences with his intoxicating anecdotes and gorgeous imagery under the Bright Eyes moniker for the past decade, but the recent introduction of his latest project — Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band remains as excitable, inspired and full of surprises as ever.
And although Bright Eyes has long been the best known (and most celebrated) vehicle for his songs, he has fronted and worked with numerous different incarnations and lineups throughout his career, ostensibly just to keep up with his own free-roaming muse. So with that spirit in mind Conor is now re-opening his long dormant solo career. Holed up in a temporary studio in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México, more known for Aztec Magic and Extra-Terrestrial Sightings, a temporary studio was created in a mountain villa called Valle Místico on the outskirts of town. A special band was assembled for the recording, known amongst themselves and to friends as The Mystic Valley Band. It was there at Valle Místico that Conor and the band lived and worked for that time in near perfect harmony, often unaware of the hour or the day.
Entitled ‘Conor Oberst’, the album is set for release on August 2 and will be Conor’s first solo effort since 1995’s ‘Soundtrack To My Movie’. He has been one of the most prolific artists of his generation – “the quality and breadth of Oberst’s songwriting have provoked comparisons to Bob Dylan” – Rolling Stone.
Do not miss this rare opportunity to be spellbound by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band.
