Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning - VINYL LP

The first three are innocent in a way, because we didn't have an audience when we were making them, Oberst says. InchBut from Lifted on, I was definitely aware of an audience. Lifted was well-received right away, and then everything happened with Wide Awake and Digital Ash.Inch Those two albums came out simultaneously. And their lead singles - InchTake It Easy (Love Nothing),Inch from the austere, remote Digital Ash, and InchLua,Inch from the warm, folky Wide Awake - debuted in the top two slots on the Billboard Hot 100. InchFirst Day of My Life,Inch also from Wide Awake, would later be voted the Number One love song of all time by NPR Music's reader's poll. Bright Eyes had officially broken through. It was a heady, exciting time, but also fraughtand tense, both because of the band's careening new fame, and because of the state of the world. When Bright Eyes made their Tonight Show debut in 2006, they chose to perform none of their shiny new hits, instead delivering a searing, harrowing rendition of their caustic anti-Bush anthem, InchWhen The President Talks To God.Inch These days, Oberst is still amusing himself by messing with the extremes Bright Eyes baked into this era's releases, extremes that reflected the polar, with-us-or-against-us, fractious feel of the times. The reworked Digital Ash tracks, originally so clean and elegant, are, on the companion EP, full of Inchharmonica and mandolins - folky vibes,Inch Oberst says. While the analogue sweetness of the Wide Awake songs have been put through a detached nihilism filter. Album Tracks 1. At the Bottom of Everything 2. We Are Nowhere and It's Now 3. Old Soul Song (For the New World Order) 4. Lua 5. Train Under Water 6. First Day of My Life 7. Another Travelin' Song 8. Land Locked Blues 9. Poison Oak 10. Road to Joy

Vinyl LP repressing. 1993 from the alt-rock duo. On this, the band's second album, the core emphasis remained a nexus point between country, folk, psych, and classic rock all shrouded in mystery, and Hope Sandoval's trademark drowsy drawl remained swathed in echo. The hit single InchFade Into YouInch brought Mazzy Star unprecedented success and was the band's only single to make the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #44. The song also charted at #48 on the UK Singles Chart. Pitchfork listed InchFade into YouInch at #19 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 1990s list. Mazzy Star consisted of guitarist David Roback and vocalist Sandoval. Album Tracks 1. Fade Into You 2. Bells Ring 3. Mary of Silence 4. Five String Serenade 5. Blue Light 1. She's My Baby 2.
