Bright Eyes waste no time with a formal entrance and with 'Jejune Stars', the crowd is hit by an onslaught of angst countered with Conor Oberst's austere way with words. After formalities, the band break into their Cassadaga hit "Four Winds" with Mike Mogis taking over the fiddle part with his intricate guitar playing, lest to say every word is sung along by die hard fans shouting out rare cuts from Conor's back catalogue inbetween songs. The setlist varies from the 'Fevers & Mirrors' and 'Lifted' days but with the focus clearly on the present day with recent effort, 'The People's Key', as well as magnum opus, 'I'm Wide Awake it's Morning', Oberst's head is looking towards the future.Bright Eyes Announce New Single

Album Review: Bright Eyes - The People's Key
After branching off to Mexico with the Mystic valley band as well as starting up the Monsters of Folk with alternative giant Jim James and folk deity M. Ward, Conor Oberst puts the final nail in the coffin to the Bright Eyes moniker with perhaps his loudest album. 'The People's Key' opens up, like every other Bright Eyes album, with a spoken word introduction, Denny Brewer of Refried Ice Cream presents some interesting concepts, painting out a picture of a sci-fi garden of eden with an ambient synth, creating a spectral atmosphere behind these concepts. When the guitar finally comes in, Conor presents to us the new sound of Bright Eyes a sound that has matured and fermented into the vague opening muddy guitar of 'Firewall'.The first song released from this album, 'Shell Games', opens up with Conor Oberst crooning "Took the fireworks and the vanity the circuit board and the city streets shooting star, swaying palm tree laid it at the arbiter's feet", each line possibly referencing his previous albums and the entire song about his relationship with his musical career and how fame has possibly affected him from such a young age. After listening to the first 5 seconds of 'Jejune Stars', you may want to replace the skin on your ear drum. The song pretty much provides a new light for Bright Eyes music and may even hint at a possible Desaparecidos reunion in the future.
