Conor Oberst

Add Date: May 20 

Artist: Conor Oberst 

Album: Upside Down Mountain 

Label: Nonesuch 

Genre: Folk rock, rock

Comments: Already a chiseled music veteran at age 34, Conor Oberst moves over to Nonesuch Records for his new album, Upside Down Mountain. If you've followed Oberst's career--particularly Bright Eyes and his recent solo records--then nothing here will surprise you: this is another fine collection of tunes that straddle the line between folk and rock. The songs range from stripped-down ballads to all-out Laurel Canyon pop, complete with horns and pedal steel, as producer Jonathan Wilson and several special guests (including First Aid Kit) help Oberst to flesh out the sound. 

Recommended Tracks: 3, 4, 11, 8 

DNP: none
