BRIGHT EYES - FEVERS & MIRRORS - RECORD

"It's a meaningful way to connect with the past that doesn't feel totally nostalgic and self-indulgent," saysConor Oberstof the Bright Eyes reissue project. "We are taking these songs and making them interesting to us all over again. I like that. I like a challenge. I like to be forced to do something that's slightly hard, just to see if we can."
