BRIGHT EYES - Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground 2LP
$49.95
180 gram double vinyl.
Like any other Bright Eyes release, it’s very important to know what you’re getting into, while “LIFTED” isn’t quite the unfiltered angst that defined both “Fevers and Mirrors” and “Letting off the Happiness” it is far from a happy album, however as bleak as this album can get with songs such as “Waste of Paint” and “Lover I Don’t Have to Love” advertising life at rock-bottom there is a great variety of breadth Conor Oberst covers in his songwriting all the while the dramatic instrumentation of the album latches on to what he says and exaggerates his every word.
