Down In The Weeds, Where The World Once Was - 2020 US Dead Oceans label Black Vinyl 14-track 2LP Set

The end of Bright Eyes' unofficial hiatus came naturally. Conor Oberst pitched the idea of getting the band back together during a 2017 Christmas party at bright eyes bandmate Nathaniel Walcott's Los Angeles home. The two huddled in the bathroom and called Mike Mogis, who was Christmas shopping at an Omaha Mall. As a title, as a thesis, 'Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was' functions on a global, apocalyptic level of anxiety that looms throughout the record. But on a personal level, it speaks to rooting around in the dirt of one's memories, trying to find the preciousness that's overgrown and unrecognizable.

"Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was" is the 10th studio album by Bright Eyes, the Nebraska band of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nate Walcott. The release marks the band's first project in nearly a decade, following The People's Key (2011). The album was recorded at ARC Studios in Omaha and Electro-Vox and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. It features musical contributions from drummer Jon Theodore and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Includes the singles "Persona Non Grata", "Forced Convalescence", "One and Done", and "Mariana Trench".
