Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was

by Bright Eyes

supported by

Red Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Favorite track: Tilt-A-Whirl.

Alex M I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to the album from beginning to end. Its very intimate and one of their best works yet. Favorite track: Calais to Dover.

Bruffs Wasn’t too bothered with the pre release tracks, but the whole album is a grower and just gets better and better with each listen.
It’s like a treasure trove of their back catalogue with fantastic writing contributions from Messers Walcott and Mogis.
As for Conor, more great lyrics and the perfect example of how to channel all of life’s testing times into something beautifully
melodic and cathartic.
Ps my favourite song changes with each listen so 👌🏻
Favorite track: Pan and Broom.
