For the forthcoming Outer South, Conor Oberst’s left the eponymous cave and woken up from his solitary nap in his best hammock to put on a pink sweater and a blindfold and make time with his Mystic Valley Band in a very brown room. The blind leading the fashionably shambled? A plea to Extreme Makeover Home Edition: El Paso? Penance for the bad mirrored shades in the above pic? You decide:

Outer South is out 5/4 in the UK via Wichita and 5/5 in the U.S. via Merge. The guys will be at Coachella.

  1. that was quick

  2. That’s what i love about Conor Oberst. He reminds me of the days when bands would put out an album a year. Not one every 3 years or something.

  6. nice shirt, Conor. It’s so ridiculous I feel he did that on purpose. I love him.

  7. So is “Bright Eyes” ever coming back or has Conor been hypnotized by the mysticism of recent years for good?
