The formative text from a supremely gifted singer-songwriter
-
We Say...
With his confessional, quavering delivery, ambivalent relationship with pitch and subtle mastery of genres like alt-country, indie rock and chamber pop, you could cast Conor Oberst as Dylan's emo heir, one whose talent is rivaled only by his ambition. Fevers & Mirrors was Oberst's third album as Bright Eyes and the one that finally earned the prolific 20-year-old long-overdue critical attention. It's a bold tapestry of moods, gestures and ambient ephemera culled from Oberst's fantastical, neurotic imagination. With multi-instrumentalist/engineer Mike Mogis, Cursive's Tim Kasher on accordion, and the Faint's Todd Baechle on keyboards (and playing a befuddled radio host on the arch "An Attempt to Tip the Scales"), Fevers is as rich a formative text as one could hope from a supremely gifted singer-songwriter on the cusp of adulthood.

They Say...
Nebraska's Bright Eyes are graduates from the Midwestern school of Britpop. With Fevers and Mirrors being their third full-length release, a strong adaptation of Radiohead, Blur, and Suede is conveniently wrapped up in a neat lo-fi package. But without completely ripping anyone off, Bright Eyes feature their own cadence of loose indie and shaky, emotional vocals. The results amount to a catchy collection of elaborate pop that's been perfectly captured on a nickel budget.
