Release Notes:

For those who recall scouring eBay for $100+ copies of that holy trinity of
early Conor Oberst cassettes (not me, I swear)-- 1993's Water, 1994's Here's to
Special Treatment, and 1995's The Soundtrack to My Movie-- August 4, 2008 will
mark a particularly special occasion. For it is on that special day that the
Bright Eye'd troubadour will release a very special album, his first solo
offering in some 13 years. That's like half an Oberst lifetime!

The self-titled affair contains a dozen tracks and comes at us courtesy of-- no,
not Saddle Creek...nope, not Team Love either...and heavens no, not a major--
but rather Merge Records, home to longtime Oberst buddy M. Ward and something I
keep hearing about called the Arcade Fire, whatever that is.

Oberst laid Conor Oberst to tape in Mexico earlier this year with help from his
pal Andy LeMaster (Now It's Overhead) and a "special band" known as the Mystic
Valley Band. If that sounds familiar, perhaps you noticed Conor and the Mystic
Valley Band among the Austin City Limits elite or caught them live at the tail
end of 2007. The new crew has also announced a couple more festival appearances
in the months to come, with the promise of a tour "throughout the summer."

Oh boy, can't wait to hear "Souled Out!!!"!
