Fevers And Mirrors auf Wikipedia (oder andere Quellen):

Fevers and Mirrors is the third studio album by American indie band Bright Eyes, recorded in 1999 and released on May 29, 2000. It was the 32nd release of the Omaha, Nebraska-based record label Saddle Creek Records. The album was released later in 2000 in the United Kingdom as the inaugural release from Wichita Recordings.[5]

The album begins with a recording of a little boy reading Mitchell Is Moving, a book by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat. "An Attempt to Tip the Scales" includes what is ostensibly an interview with the band's frontman, Conor Oberst. However, Oberst has admitted that the interview was something of a joke, intended to poke fun at the dark tone of the album. Conor's voice is impersonated in the interview by Todd Fink of The Faint and Commander Venus. The man interviewing is Matt Silcock, a former member of Lullaby for the Working Class.[6]

The album was reissued alongside a six-track companion EP by Dead Oceans on May 27, 2022.

Bright Eyes auf Wikipedia (oder andere Quellen):

Bright Eyes ist ein 1995 von Conor Oberst (* 15. Februar 1980) gegründetes Band-Projekt aus Omaha, Nebraska.

Die Band

Gegründet wurde Bright Eyes als Ein-Mann-Projekt von Conor Oberst. Im Laufe der Zeit kamen Mike Mogis und später Nate Walcott als de facto feste Bandmitglieder hinzu. Mogis ist zudem Produzent vieler Bright-Eyes-Alben.

Für die Studioaufnahmen und Touren werden befreundete Musiker eingeladen, die zum Großteil aus dem Umfeld des Independent-Labels Saddle Creek stammen. Saddle Creek wurde 1993 von dem damals 13-jährigen Oberst, seinem Bruder und einigen seiner Freunde gegründet. Viele der Studio- und Tourneemusiker spielen ihrerseits in erfolgreichen Bands wie etwa Cursive, The Faint, Rilo Kiley oder Azure Ray.

Stil

Bright Eyes zeichnet sich durch persönliche, melancholisch-poetische Texte und einen zittrigen, emotionalen Gesang in Verbindung mit manchmal ausufernden, manchmal präzisen Songs aus, die oft Elemente der amerikanischen Folk- oder Country-Musik enthalten.

Biografie

Conor Oberst schrieb schon mit 13 Jahren erste Lieder und begann diese aufzunehmen. Der Name „Bright Eyes“ wurde zum ersten Mal 1997 verwendet. Frühe Veröffentlichungen wie das Album Letting Off the Happiness (1998), die EP Every Day and Every Night (1999) und das im Jahr 2000 erschienene Fevers and Mirrors blieben zur Zeit ihrer Veröffentlichung noch relativ unbekannt.

Mit dem 2002 veröffentlichten Album Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground erreichten Bright Eyes das erste Mal die US-amerikanischen Album-Charts. Auch MTV zeigte Interesse am jungen Singer/Songwriter aus Nebraska und wollte ihn in die Show TRL einladen. Oberst sagte jedoch ab. Nebenbei veröffentlichte er mit den Desaparecidos ein Album namens Read Music/Speak Spanish.

Im Januar 2005 erschienen bei Saddle Creek die beiden neuen Alben Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, eine eher elektronische Pop-Platte, und I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning, das mehr in der klassischen Folk- und Countrytradition steht. Beide eroberten auf Anhieb vordere Plätze in den US-Charts. Die Singles Lua und Take It Easy (Love Nothing) belegten sogar gleichzeitig Rang 1 und 2 der Billboard Hot 100 Single Sales.

Zur Überbrückung bis zum nächsten Album wurden mit Motion Sickness: Live Recordings und Noise Floor (Rarities 1998–2005) ein Livealbum und eine Compilation mit seltenen Songs (z. B. B-Seiten) veröffentlicht.

Bright Eyes in Wiesbaden 2005

Im April 2007 erschien noch das Album Cassadaga. Danach veröffentlichte Conor Oberst zwei weitere Alben, allerdings unter dem Namen Conor Oberst bzw. Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band.

Am 15. Februar 2011 erschien mit The People’s Key schließlich ein neues Album von Bright Eyes.

Nach langer Pause der Band und Soloprojekten der Beteiligten, erschien am 21. August 2020 das Album Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was.
