One of the things that struck Oberst as he and the band went through twenty-plus years of music is that he may in fact have been writing the same song this whole time. Not sonically, of course, but conceptually. This last wave contains, in Noise Floor, early Bright Eyes songs so raw Oberst never even released them back in the day, as well as, in Cassadaga and The Peoples Key, the bands most polished and sophisticated albums. When Bright Eyes toured Cassadega they performed an epic 7 sold-out nights at NYCs Town Hall. Whats more grown-up rock-star than that? And yet …Thematically those early songs are not that different than the songs I make now, Oberst says, shaking his head. Theres something affirming and disheartening about it. Its like, have I really changed or grown? But maybe its just that I knew what I wanted to write about from the beginning.
