One of two new studio albums from Bright Eyes, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn features 12 songs including "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)", "Arc of Time" and "Gold Mine Gutted." Reissued on high quality 180 gram vinyl!
Containing what are undeniably his finest songs to date, Im Wide Awake, Its Morning, and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, two separate albums being simultaneously released on January 25th, provide unequivocal proof that 24 year-old Oberst belongs to the lineage of great American songwriters. These albums are a soundly articulated slice of modern American life rolled into two very different records. The new songs are bursting with all of the rough edges and heartfelt poetry for which Bright Eyes records have earned their acclaim, while exposing a glorious new level of depth and texture to the writing and delivery. Recorded back-to-back and scheduled to be released simultaneously, the albums work in tandem to elucidate both sides of Conors recent creative output. Im Wide Awake, Its Morning is a country-tinged mélange of Conors finest acoustic songs, featuring guest vocal appearances from Emmylou Harris and Jim James (My Morning Jacket), whereas Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is a more produced, band-centric album featuring cameo appearances by Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
