A due anni di distanza dal suo debutto per l’etichetta Nonesuch Records con l’album Upside Down Mountain, questo 14 ottobre è pronto a tornare Conor Oberst, con un nuovo album solista registrato nella sua città natale di Omaha in 48 ore. Si intitola Ruminations ed è un disco realizzato completamente da solo:

I wasn’t expecting to write a record. I honestly wasn’t expecting to do much of anything. Winter in Omaha can have a paralyzing effect on a person but in this case it worked in my favor. I was just staying up late every night playing piano and watching the snow pile up outside the window. Next thing I knew I had burned through all the firewood in the garage and had more than enough songs for a record. I recorded them quick to get them down but then it just felt right to leave them alone.

Qui sotto potete vedere cover art e tracklist:
