BRIGHT EYES / WILD NOTHING
The People’s Key, Bright Eyes seventh studio album, is the eagerly awaited follow-up to 2007’s acclaimed Cassadaga. Since 2006 the once revolving cast of Bright Eyes players has settled around permanent members Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott, with additional musicians joining them in the studio and on tour. Fully realized and bursting with charisma, The People’s Key is an assured and accomplished album, artfully arranged and filled with the engaging and mesmeric songwriting for which Oberst is renowned. Bright Eyes' success snowballed in early 2005 when the simultaneous release of the sister albums I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash In A Digital Urn saw these Nebraskans hurled into the limelight and the Billboard Charts. To say that the band became a household name would be an overstatement but for a few months they seemed ubiquitous, from stages to magazine covers to late night talk shows. Conor Oberst has spent much of the last few years recording and touring with friends and musicians, The Mystic Valley Band, as well as releasing a highly acclaimed album and tour as part of the indie supergroup Monsters of Folk.
Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia-born Jack Tatum, whose music is the product of an “unhealthy obsession” with nostalgia. Equal parts teenage wasteland and inexplicable regret, Tatum’s songs are the kind that could only be made by the young at heart. Unlike the current herd of one-man bedroom bands, Tatum creates complex textural environments that aim and deliver more; melodies that yearn to stay with you; warped interpretations of Johnny Marr’s guitar work; and The Cure’s careful synth arrangements. The distinctive sound is dreamy, catchy, and intriguing.
Upcoming Twilight Concerts:

August 25: Lupe Fiasco / Big K.R.I.T.
