all those links have been taken down now lol

 

exactly why I figured it was good to save it all in a post hah

 

Didn't the release dates on the link say May 27th? Unless they are just announcing it along with preorders on the 2nd. That would probably make more senses.

 

So stoked! Tempted to sign up for the secretly vinyl sub again but they've already announced April & May releases and they are not BE records...

 

Probably a single drop and announcement

 

Guess we know what he will likely play now at We Are Young Fest..timely. Dat nostalgia. Still can remember listening to Fevers and Mirrors in the dark in my room #emo

 

Haligh with Phoebe Bridgers and Contrast and Compare with Waxahatchee. Just kill me now.


Edit: the “Contrast and Compare” with Katie is great.

 

“Haligh, Haligh, a Lie, Haligh” was my favorite song in high school lol. This is all too weird for me.

 

mannnnnn

 

New tour dates coming too with Alex G as opener

 

So hyped they are doing all 9 records in waves of 3 with companion EPs for every one.

 

where you read this

 

Press release:

"Bright Eyes have announced an extensive reissue / re-recording project on Dead Oceans for 2022. The revered band, who moved their entire recording catalog over to the Secretly Group label last year, have unveiled plans to re-issue all nine of their studio albums as a ‘Companion’ series with additional recordings created together at their ARC Studios in Omaha. The album reissue series will be partnered with the release of a Companion EP of five new recordings of songs contained on the original release plus a cover version from an artist they found particularly inspiring at the time of the original recording. The Companion series gives Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott a chance to revisit some of their earlier material and re-work it entirely - with the occasional addition of some talented friends. This ambitious project will see the release of 54 new recordings over the coming year.

First to receive the Companion treatment on May 27th are Bright Eyes’ first three albums - A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997, Letting Off The Happiness (initially released in 1998) and the now iconic 2000 LP Fevers and Mirrors.

Today’s announcement comes with the release of three new Companion series recordings: "Falling Out of Love At This Volume," "Contrast And Compare" (feat. Waxahatchee) and "Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh" (feat.Phoebe Bridgers)."

 

Preordered the Merlot vinyl and the EP for Fevers. Will at least snag the record and companion for Lifted, I’m Wide Awake and Cassadaga too when those come around. Only BE record I own on vinyl is I’m Wide Awake and it skips a little

 

Yea this’ll be a great reason for me to finally pickup I’m wide awake & Cassadaga

 

The box set from 5 years ago is the only Bright Eyes albums I have. I've been meaning to pick up the others, so this is as good as time as any.

 

POV of Something Vague

 

all three released today and really great, this is going to be an awesome project. I can't wait to see what he does with the upcoming album companions
