| | Montreal Mirror - Music Cover: Conor Oberst / Bright Eyes |
 | | "In the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesn't dream, we must sing, we must sing, we must sing," sings Conor Oberst, getting personal and political on "At the Bottom of Everything." The darkly jubilant tune opens I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, one of two Bright Eyes LPs to be released on January 25. |
 | | It landed Bright Eyes in the pages of Rolling Stone (where the Bob Dylan comparisons just won't quit), on the sets of Letterman and Austin City Limits and, with last November's singles, "Lua" and "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)," at the top of the charts. |
 | | As his music matured and evolved tangentially, via scores of side projects and collaborations such as his rock band Desparecidos, Oberst's brilliant wordplay and increasingly eclectic arrangements wooed a fair chunk of the populace. |
