	Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (Album Review)
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn swaths Oberst’s compositions in a tornado of techno beats, driving keyboards, sound samples, and swirling strings and frequently recalls Nine Inch Nails blended with The Postal Service.
		Throughout Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, Oberst reigns in his previously shrieking vocals to deliver his emo lyrics as part of the album’s textured vibe.
		Elsewhere, Oberst used the ballads on Digital Ash in a Digital Urn (Gold Mine Gutted, Devil in the Details and Easy/Lucky/Free) to adeptly remind the listener that he can still excel with his vocals front and center in the arrangement.

	Bright Eyes: Digital Ash In A Digital Urn (2005): Reviews
		Digital Ash offers enough swelling, androgynous moments to approach its hype, or at least keep up with its release partner.
		Digital Ash has the claustrophobic feel of a singer locked up with a computer, and it's distractingly chipper, like Rilo Kiley in their own Dntel homages; not every Bright Eyes record has to be an emotional epic, but Digital Ash feels like a practice run.
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is a weepy response to the Postal Service.

		Digital Ash In A Digital Urn swaps Emmylou Harris and Jim James for Dntel from electro-indie outfit The Postal Service, and replaces stripped-down acoustic guitars with squelchy electronics, tinny drum machines and distorted guitars from Nick Zinner, the skinny axe-wielder from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
		For a start, it actually has tunes, and some of Digital Ash… resembles finely-crafted pop music, such as the indie-with-beats number Hit The Switch, or US Number 2 single Take It Easy.
		Some may still be turned off by this new digital approach, but there’s an album more suited to purists and newcomers that comes out on the exact same day.

		‘DAIADU’'s more synthetic arrangements at best imbue the songs with a mysterious quality, as with the mesmerising ‘Down In A Rabbit Hole’, which features crashing walls of synths and strings.
		Well, ‘I’m Wide Awake, it's Morning’ has the edge, but stick ‘Digital Ash In A Digital Urn’ down on your birthday list and you won’t be disappointed.
		Bright Eyes 'I'm Wide Awake It's Morning' (Saddle Creek) and 'Digital Ash In A DIgital Urn' (Saddle Creek) both released January 25 2004.

	Digital Ash in a Digital Urn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is one of two Bright Eyes albums (along with I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning) released on January 25, 2005 by Saddle Creek Records.
		The singles "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" from Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and "Lua" from the album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (also released January 25, 2005) recently took the top two slots on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.
		This is the first time this has occurred since 1997, when Sean Combs (Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, Diddy) took the number one slot and was featured on a Notorious B.I.G. song which took the number two slot.

	washingtonpost.com: BRIGHT EYES "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn" Saddle Creek TILLY AND ...
		The heavily, but not exclusively, synth-based "Digital Ash" is livelier than the other new Bright Eyes album -- even though one of its obvious models is the sobbing dirge-rock of the Cure, which has also influenced Oberst's pal Tim Kasher, leader of fellow Saddle Creek band Cursive.
		There are songs on this album that would have fit readily on the other one, and both discs end with a similarly overwrought climax.
		Yet "Digital Ash" has numerous advantages over its counterpart, including sheer unpredictability but also richer sound, stronger tunes and brisker rhythms.

	Bright Eyes: Digital Ash in a Digital Urn Aversion.com Review
		As Digital Ash in a Digital Urn shows, the answer to the first question is yes.
		Most of Digital Ash’s electronics serve to distract listeners from the usual focal point of a Bright Eyes record: Oberst’s lyrics.
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn finds Oberst attempting to expand his sound, but still not ready to make the jump past folksy singer/songwriter material.

	Tower Records - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn - Bright Eyes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Precocious indie wunderkind Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) released two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN--in early 2005, and the latter proved to be a stylistic curveball that veered sharply away from his emo-folk sound and into synth-heavy electronic music.
		However, DIGITAL ASH isn't the complete departure some fans anticipated; Oberst's strikingly plaintive vocals and quirky songwriting are threads that directly tie the album to its companion disc, making both essential for Bright Eyes aficionados.
		Digital Ash is the more experimental and electronic of the two albums released by Bright Eyes simultaneously.

	Music Review: Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn : The University Daily Kansan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The second act in Bright Eyes’ recent dual album launch, the excellently titled Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, is a departure from the acoustic mini-ballads of front man Conor Oberst’s previous releases.
		Folk guitars thrown overboard, Digital Ash is anchored instead by looped beats, layers of lush, fluorescent keyboards and a technique known only as “programming,” courtesy of producer Mike Mogis’ alter ego, the Digital Audio Engine.
		As it stands now, the electronic pop of Digital Ash seems to be Bright Eyes’ best shot at leaping from indie sainthood to the mainstream.

	Underwurld Review
		It is clear from the first listen of 'Digital Ash In A Digital Urn' that it is very different from 'I'm Awake, It's Morning'.
		The best of 'Digital Ash In A Digital Urn' is the trio of songs that start with 'Take It Easy (Love Nothing)'.
		It is easy to tell if the concatenation of 'I'm Awake It's Morning' and 'Digital Ash In A Digital Urn' would have made a great single album.

		While the two albums are seperate releases, I am doing it all in one review to compare and contrast the releases.
		Digital Ash In A Digital Urn was previewed as more "dancy, beat-oriented" music, which terrified me; I absolutely loathe the revival of the 80's dance wave that has infected the underground music scene.
		The introduction to Digital Ash In A Digital Urn is "Time Code," consisting of heavy breathing, muffled beats and ambient noises.

	Bright Eyes, "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn"
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is more the Mary Kate than the Ashley of the two.
		Whereas I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning, is the more confident and charismatic twin, Digital is a little darker, a little rougher around the edges, and will have more trouble proving itself to the masses.
		Digital, laden with electronic beats and repetitive hooks, is a little more discursive than Wide Awake, which means it takes a little bit more energy to swallow.

	Stinkweeds Online Music: Your independent source for indie, rare, new, import CDs, LPs and reviews.
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is supposed to be the more "experimental" of the two simultaneously-released Bright Eyes albums, and to that end is very much built on electronic music.
		The album closes with what could be considered the most traditionally Bright Eyes song on the record, "Easy/Lucky/Free" which is a brilliant dissertation on what it means to be a socially conscious American with conflicted feelings about your country, your role in it, and its role in the world.
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is a great record, of the two it is probably the better.

	Digital Ash In A Digital Urn \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is a culmination of Bright Eyes' decade-long habit of reviving folk-rock conventions and social engagement for a generation raised on the celebratory egomania of rap and reality television.
		In its way, the companion record Digital Ash In A Digital Urn is even more exciting.
		And since Digital Ash tries out new sounds, Oberst is forced to change his routine to meet the shifting instrumentation.

	CordMag CD review - Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn.
		While we have been directed not to review this digital album alongside the coinciding acoustic release by Bright Eyes, I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, with each other, it's difficult to not do so, because they were released together.
		So, Digital Ash In A Digital Urn then.
		We get back to digital for "Ship In A Bottle" and "Light Pollution" for sure, but it's still more organic than the early goings.

	Crutch Music Review: Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In a Digital Urn / I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning
		At twenty four years old, he’s already an indie rock fashion-plate, a mouthpiece for hipster saddos all over the world, a burgeoning music rag celebrity, and, most glaringly, the owner of one hell of a bum rap.
		These are dueling experiments in restraint for the singer-songwriter, opportunities to display his winning traits (his propensity toward fiery fits of vocal abandon and incisive lyrics) with a veneer of maturity, obscuring some of the Bright Eyes calling cards that many find distasteful.
		Bidding adieu to acoustic guitars, Oberst’s vocals find themselves pinned up by clicks and cuts: “Arc of Time” delights over miniature samples and sputtering, sequenced drums, while “Down a Rabbit Hole” is content to deliberate beneath a whirl of symphonic bulges and heavily distorted electric guitar leads.

		And yet, for all its introspection, Wide Awake is perhaps Oberst's most extroverted album, evoking a larger world full of pain and confusion greater than his own.
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn sounds atrocious by comparison.
		A natural bandleader, Oberst is used to controlling the music, but on Digital Ash, the choppy rhythms control him.

	Rockzillaworld Bright Eyes "I'm Wide Awake It's Morning/ Digital Ash in a Digital Urn" By Marianne Ebertowski
		So, apart from talent, the boy's got a sense of humor and that is sometimes rare to find within a profession that tends to take itself slightly too seriously at times.
		About Digital Ash in a Digital Urn I can be brief, most of the time it bores the crap out of me. It sounds as if Oberst has been plundering the hit parades of the early eighties (Human League, Depeche Mode, Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark, Gary Numan, Bow Wow Wow, David Bowie).
		Maybe Oberst should concentrate on what he is good at acoustic songs - or take some advice from people who are good at electronic music like Kraftwerk or Bowie and some time to digest before he pollutes the environment by burping second-rate stuff like this.

		Be sure to tune into the site on the fourteenth of January when we'll start to go over all the winners.
		The cynic in me thinks that rather than being an artistic statement, the fact that Conor Oberst has split his latest release into two separately available albums is just a bare-faced attempt to weasel double the money out of his incredibly loyal following.
		Whereas Dylan had a knack for writing sharp, insightful poetry and setting it to hook-laden folk music, Oberst seems to be stuck writing clumsy metaphors and putting it against masses of murky sounding noise.

	Digital Ash in a Digital Urn - Bright Eyes - Song Listings
		Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is designed to be the musical polar opposite to the simultaneously-released I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, to be the ambitious, modernistic electronic record that stands in contrast to the sepia-toned, classicist acoustic LP.
		Nevertheless, there is more variety and dynamicism on Digital Ash, which makes it a more interesting listen than its companion, even if it's hard not to escape the feeling that the album is Bright Eyes' take on the Postal Service's Give Up.

	Digital Ash in a Digital Urn - Bright Eyes - Music Reviews
		"Of the two albums, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is a weepy response to the Postal Service."
		"Digital Ash In A Digital Urn, meanwhile, is lyrically obsessed with time and death, and musically infatuated with bad music from the 1980s -- which adds up to an at times intriguing but not wholly satisfying album."
		"It could have been a train wreck, but Digital Ash easily matches the lyrical depth and focus of I’m Wide Awake and surpasses a vast majority of other artists’ recent forays into ’80s-revival- meets-new-millenium scorched earth."
