Bright Eyes Album: “One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels”

Poetry so perfect that for the first time I do not even dare saying a word about it. Excellence, ten out of five stars!

I've never listened to an EP as many times as I have this one. The thing that startled me most about it was that I liked the Neva Dinova songs more than the ones crooned by Oberst. As a fan of any band, I think you tend to gravitate to their songs more than any other, and I thought that would happen for this album. Not the case. It starts with Tripped, which may start to find it's way onto mix-tapes without you even realizing it, and ends with the last refrain of Spring Cleaning, guaranteed to be something you hum for the rest of the day. Some of the best work from both of these artists, and it sounds like they just worked so damn well together that it leaves you wishing for more colab work in the future.

Jake Bellows' [the 'other guy' singing] and Conor Oberst's voices and styles mesh perfectly here and every song on this EP is worth hearing again and again. 'Get Back' is probably my favorite. I'm a longtime Bright Eyes fan and Conor's influence is apparent even on songs he's not singing lead on.

Conor Oberst himself has said that this is his favorite music he has created. That should be enough said.

Ive been in love with brighteyes for a long time now, but I had never heard of Neva Dinova. Well now in in love with them to. This cd is short but great. My favorite are the last two tracks. Do yourself a favor and pick this up!

I love Bright Eyes for Conor Oberst's great lyrics and songwriting,

and I purchased this album for the like. I never expected this to be

as great as it was, with awesome emotion catching songs by both

Neva Dinova and Bright Eyes. Spectacular.
