Sadly this is the only full length release from these Omaha, Nebraska cats. These guys are famous for having members of The Good Life, Statistics and, oh yeah, Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes as their vocalist. All kidding aside, this is my favourite Conor Oberst project, hands down. Here Conor screams about his distaste for American materialism, and trust me he does scream. This album was recorded by Mike Mogis in less than a week and the recording is raw, intense, and totally rad. Sounds like Pinkerton-era Weezer with a post-hardcore edge.
I hate Bright Eyes but I love this! Greater Omaha is an incredible song
ReplyDeleteI never got into Bright Eyes either, but this album was the shit.
