Stream the New Conor Oberst

This album snuck up on me to begin with, but now almost a month before its official release date (May 5th), you can stream the new Conor Oberst and Mystic Valley Band album Outer South, at the Merge Records website.

Update:  So this is probably my wishful imagination but, the person from Omaha, Nebraska searching for Conor Oberst...

Are you there Conor?

Conor Oberst and his genius

Conor Oberst released his newest album (technically not a Bright Eyes album) a couple of months ago, and it hadn't occurred to me until I saw a video for one of the tracks from it on a website that I should encourage all of you people to check it out.
Not a traditional Bright Eyes album (simply due to the absence of Mike Moogis) this album still sounds like the acoustic folksy Bright Eyes introduced in last two albums (I'm Wide Awake It's Morning and Cassadega). Oberst reportedly wrote the songs after (or during) a trip to Mexico, and it shows in the music. The album is overall a sunny and more carefree approach to folk that Oberst has turned out in the past. Check out the video for one of the standout tracks:
