---- + Release Note + -------------------------------------
In 1995, at the age of 15, Conor Oberst left the Omaha, NE,
group Commander Venus and began working on the material for his
solo project, Bright Eyes. A Collection of Songs gathers the
results: 20 compositions recorded during the singer's mid- to
late teens. Even at a young age, it's clear that Oberst is an
extremely talented songwriter, seemingly incapable of penning a
bad tune (except in the odd case when you sense he didn't try).
Despite his obvious gifts, however, there are plenty of sour
moments throughout A Collection, but they are almost always the
result of the singer's delivery, rather than an inherent fault
of the song. Oberst walks a fine line and occasionally his
tendency toward unrelenting honesty chases him over the edge.
His tone turns bitter and you sense that he can't stand to bare
his soul without couching the sentiments in a combination of
anger, sarcasm, and parody. On songs like "Patient Hope in New
Snow," "Saturday as Usual," and "The Awful Sweetness of Escaping
Sweat," the songs disintegrate as his vocals are reduced to the
unintelligible babbling of a child. Any balance the music
maintained up to that point, however fragile, is lost and so,
more than likely, is the listener. Exercising more restraint,
Oberst reveals a unique songwriting voice. On "Exaltation on a
Cool Kitchen Floor," the results are truly touching as he
whispers, "I can't help noticing that she is sitting closer to
me than she ever has before" -- lines that manage to capture the
deep emotional ache called love. On "How Many Lights Do You
See?," he expands the simple subject matter, exploring it with a
near-cinematic perspective. Elsewhere (on the collection's best
material), he is found teetering on the edge. Barely able to
contain the welling emotions, a quiver rises in his voice. In
such cases, you'd be hard-pressed to deny the truth of the
sentiments Oberst is delivering.
