Bright Eyes

Conor Oberst (leader of Bright Eyes) canceled most of his dates last year due to a voice condition. He's recuperated and back in a big way, which is good because it’s his voice that makes him so popular. It sounds like the cries of a high teenager who’s locked out of the house, but somehow it works, in part because it matches the moods of the misfit characters in his songs. The latest Bright Eyes record, Five Dice, All Threes, continues documenting the musical fever dreams that Oberst started conjuring decades ago in his Omaha bedroom. With Cursive.
