Bright Eyes - A Collection Of Songs Written And Recorded 1995-1997

Step back into the raw beginnings of Bright Eyes with A Collection Of Songs Written And Recorded 1995-1997, now available on vinyl. This debut album captures a teenage Conor Oberst at his most vulnerable and unfiltered, laying the groundwork for what would become one of indie rock’s most distinctive voices.

Spanning 20 tracks, the record brims with lo-fi intimacy—bedroom recordings, fragile melodies, and lyrics that reveal a startling depth well beyond Oberst’s years. From hushed acoustic ballads to rough-edged experimental moments, each song offers a glimpse into the restless creativity of an artist finding his footing.

Presented on high-quality vinyl, this edition brings new warmth and dimension to the DIY sound that defined Bright Eyes’ early years. A must-have for fans and collectors, it’s both a time capsule of mid-’90s indie and a fascinating first chapter in the Bright Eyes story.
