Album reviews

Lifted, or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground (Recommended)
Saddle Creek (2002)
Crack the code and solve Conor Oberst's puzzle: a concept album that rides with the best of 'em.

There Is No Beginning To The Story
Saddle Creek (2002)
A new EP from Conor Oberst's exquisitely mopey original vehicle.

Oh Holy Fools
Saddle Creek (2001)
I heard that Bright Eyes was releasing a split CD with Conor Oberst's friend (and sometime drummer) Joe Knapp's band Son, Ambulance during a show in late September. At the time, though, I didn't think much about the notion of a split release.

Fevers And Mirrors
Saddle Creek (2000)
With the release of the full length Fevers and Mirrors, Conor Oberst and friends have come together to create an absolutely stunning listening experience.

Every Day And Every Night
Saddle Creek (1999)
Should you believe the hype? "Genius?" "Wunderkind?" "The Future Of Indie Rock?!?!?"

Concert reviews

May 1, 2003
Town Hall, New York
A dream bill for some, a nightmare for others, as Omaha's finest plays New York's Town Hall with Scottish gloomies Arab Strap in tow.

New York,
If the fire department had to be called when a room exceded its limit of polyester clothing and black plastic-framed glasses, then the New York City Fire Department would have been at the Tiger Style/Saddle Creek CMJ showcase by the time the place was only half full.
