New Bright Eyes Side-Project?(!)
-
Artist:
So I was reading an entry on wikipedia (that ever-reliable source) about M. Ward and came across this snippet of gossip which caused me to splurge my coffee at the computer screen (metaphorically) in shock...
"According to the Omaha City Weekly: ...Also with recording plans for the winter is Conor Oberst. Beginning in the new year, Oberst is slated to begin recording two new albums — one a solo record in Mexico (?) with Jake Bellows playing a role and another with a new band being formed with M Ward"
Has anybody else heard this? Or know anything more of it? I know Conor and M. Ward have collaborated a lot in the past, but a joint project may just send me to new realms of ecstasy. And a solo album too?
I hope this is more than just a rumour. I definitely wasn't expecting any new Conor material so soon after Cassadaga. Although, come to think of it, that was almost a year ago wasn't it? How time flies eh?
So... any thoughts?
