Due August 4th:
Conor Oberst will be releasing his new, self-titled solo album through
Wichita Recordings on the 4th of August. "The album was made in
Tepoztlán, Morelos, México during the months of January and February
2008. In Tepoztlán, a place known for Aztec Magic and
Extra-Terrestrial Sightings, a tem****ary studio was created in a
mountain villa called Valle Místico at the outskirts of town. 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"
