I read with immense pleasure Alyson’s excellent review of the new Bright Eyes album. And I might agree if I cared aboutt what is on Conor’s mind.
I think it is a essentially an abstract wedding album.
Not continuation but renewal.
Not eternal love but one love.
Solipsism gussied up as Philip K. Dick.
Fine by me, but though the music is worthy of serious admirations, the concepts are a awful meh.
The operative line here is “That love is the way to return to the voice in the back of my head that I never mention”(i butchered the line
This is his marriage album
