tatom Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) http://www.nonesuch.com/albums/ruminations ABOUT THIS ALBUM In the winter of 2016, Conor Oberst found himself hibernating in his hometown of Omaha after living in New York City for more than a decade. He emerged with the unexpectedly raw, unadorned solo album Ruminations, available October 14, 2016, on Nonesuch Records. "I wasn't expecting to write a record," says Oberst. "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." A limited number of Nonesuch Store pre-orders will include a signed print. Order total came out to $32.27 after standard shipping! Sheesh. But it does say my order includes the signed print, so that's cool.

ejc625 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I'll probably order considering I preordered the Bright Eyes box set. Hoping it pops up on Amazon though. Edited August 3, 2016 by ejc625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) This was a nice surprise. Order because I'm a nut and needed that signed print Edited August 3, 2016 by KingTacoMunster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I just made it in time for a print. Whoop whoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Damn that print would've been cool. I guess I'll swipe this locally or on Amazon. Goddammit west coast, making me miss preorders in my sleep ... If anyone is unenthusiastic about that print when it comes in Oct, I'd be down to trade or buy. Just putting it out there now.

Hairy Potter Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yep, ordered this. Curious how it's going to sound considering its essentially just raw demos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was not a huge fan of his other solo stuff, but I'll check it out when it's out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkrtz Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Whenever he announced two separate solo tours (one with a backing band, and one entirely solo with piano and guitar), I had a feeling he was going to release a followup to Upside Down Mountain. This interests me a lot because in his solo career the more vacant, minimal songs always seem the strongest. Cape Canaveral, Lenders In The Temple, Milk Thistle, Ten Women, White Shoes, Artifact #1, Common Knowledge..... to me they're all some of the strongest tracks on their respective LPs. So i'm really excited for an entire album with that stripped down approach. helsabot and niblips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helsabot Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I'm quite excited for this...though I don't even remember the last time I really loved a Conor Oberst release, the fact that it should be an intimate-sounding album is a good thing.
