Man, You Got Some Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes have released the tracklisting for their upcoming LP, Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground, which will be released on August 13th. The album seems like a Saddle Creek jamboree with Mike Mogis and Andy Lemaster of Now It’s Overhead, Todd and Clark Baechle of The Faint, Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor Azure Ray, Matt Maginn and Clint Schnase of Cursive, and Jiha Lee of The Good Life all lending their services to Conor Oberst & Co. for the record. You can pre-order the 70+ minute set, which sports a double gate-fold case, over at Saddle Creek, so get to it! And, if that doesn't manage to tickle your fancy, Mr. Oberst will be taking a 15-piece band out on tour in support of the new album from September 12th through October 22nd. Dates will be announced soon, but it already sounds like fun. Oh yeah, the tracks...
