Four years since their last group release and Conor Oberst, lead singer, has returned a changed man. For their latest release, The People’s Key, Bright Eyes have steered clear of anything that might sound like their previous works.  Oberst looks to diversify himself musically with lyrics full of meaning, faith, and even mythology. The People’s Key shows Oberst’s continuos confusion, following him on a journey through faith, life, and the beyond. The album is set to release on Oberst’s birthday February 15th, when he will be turning 31. The most prevalent message in this release is Oberst’s change from preaching his view into a more humble, mature man seeking enlightenment.  Take a listen to a few standout tracks below and be sure to purchase the album when it’s released on the 15th.

Bonus Coachella! – The Kills

The Kills are back with their highly anticipated fourth studio album Blood Pressures, set to release on April 5th, just in time for Coachella! The minimal rock boy/girl duo formed by singer Alison Mosshart and guitarist Jamie Hince have had moderate success with each release. We hope that their latest album will break some of the molds they have previously set for themselves, taking a chance to bring something fresh. [Preorder Blood Pressures]
