Conor Oberst, lyrical genius and frontman of Bright Eyes and Desaparecidos, announces he will be releasing solo album Upside Down Mountain May 20 via Nonesuch Records. He also shares new track “Hundreds of Ways,” which gives off a very Cassadaga vibe, country-folk-y and catchy. Oberst sings “There are hundreds of ways to get through the day, just find one.”
The album was recorded in Nashville with Jonathan Wilson and features vocals from First Aid Kit. Oberst has also announced tour dates for this spring which you can check out below.
