The last Bright Eyes record, The People’s Key, was long regarded as the group’s last with Mike Mogis admitting family and producing commitments were at the top of his priorities. But Oberst fanatics, many of whom make up the Best Fit team, should fear not as the previous boy-wonder and former Next-Bob-Dylan has been keeping busy, not only reuniting his early-’00s post-hardcore outfit Desaparecidos but embarking on a solo tour of his own.
Watch a live vid of Conor Oberst previewing two new tracks, presumably material from a possible new solo record. Omaha’s favourite son performs (what seem to be called) ‘You Are Your Moms’ and ‘Kick’ in the clip below:
