August 5 will see a new album released by Conor Oberst. The release is a solo effort and not a Bright Eyes release. It is also being released on Merge Records and not Saddle Creek. The album, self titled, was recorded in Tepoztlan, Mexico in January, February of this year. Conor produced the record with help from Andy LeMaster. Also helping in the studio was The Mystic Valley Band, who will be supporting Conor on a summer tour of the United States. Considering the last Bright Eyes effort was a shade disappointing, it will be interesting to see if this release is met with acclaim or disdain.
