Mickey 9's The Party Maifesto 10th Anniversary

Rediscover the origins of Bright Eyes with A Collection Of Songs Written And Recorded 1995–1997, now pressed on vinyl. This raw, emotional debut captures a young Conor Oberst as he begins to craft the poetic, confessional sound that would later define his career.

Recorded during his teenage years, the album’s twenty tracks are lo-fi yet deeply intimate—filled with stripped-down guitars, tape hiss, and unguarded lyrics that reflect heartbreak, longing, and self-discovery. Each song feels like a diary entry, offering a rare glimpse into the early creative spirit of one of indie rock’s most influential voices.

This vinyl edition brings warmth and texture to the original home recordings, making it an essential piece for collectors and Bright Eyes fans alike. Whether you’re revisiting the past or discovering it for the first time, this album stands as a fascinating document of youthful honesty and artistic beginnings.
