Conor Oberst and band announce new record


Insanely prolific musician and songwriter Conor Oberst and his Mystic Valley band is releasing a new record titled Outer South this May on Merge. The album includes sixteen tracks and was recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios outside of El Paso. According to Merge the record will feature songs written by all members of the band. For me, this is a good thing, considering Desaparecidos' Read Music Speak Spanish featured collaborative songwriting and is one of my favorite jams of the new millennium. Here's to hoping South will be the same.
