In Tepoztlán, a place known for Aztec Magic and Extra-Terrestrial Sightings, a temporary studio was created in a mountain villa called Valle Místico at the outskirts of town. It was produced by Conor Oberst with much help from engineer and long time associate Andy LeMaster. A special band was assembled for the recording, known amongst themselves and to friends as The Mystic Valley Band. It was there at Valle Místico that Conor and the band lived and worked for that time in near perfect harmony, often unaware of the hour or the day. The result is his first solo album in thirteen years, following Water (1993), Here’s To Special Treatment (1994) and Soundtrack To My Movie (1995). In that time he has recorded and preformed in many bands and musical projects including Commander Venus, Park Ave., Desaparecidos, and most notably Bright Eyes, his main musical vehicle for the past decade. The self-titled album will be released on Wichita Recordings world-wide excluding North America. Wichita are the label that launched Bright Eyes outside of N.America back in 2000 with the release of debut LP Fevers & Mirrors, and a further two Bright Eyes albums Letting Of The Happiness and Lifted or The Story Is in The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground. Conor Oberst will be touring throughout the summer. Track List in full: 1. Cape Canaveral 2. Sausalito 3. Get-well Cards 4. Lenders In The Temple 5. Danny Callaghan 6.
