Mutual admiration can be tough to express, especially across generations. Phoebe Bridgers grew up listening to Bright Eyes, and her gentle songs about intimacy risks show this influence. This shared style led to Oberst guesting on Bridgers' 2017 debut, laying the groundwork for this full - length collaboration. There's a bit of sonic similarity with Bridgers' other recent work in Boygenius, but Oberst's variety keeps this from being a rehash. Tracks like “Exception To The Rule” have synth lines influenced by Digital Ash In A Digital Urn, and “Big Black Heart” offers fierce pop - punk riffs and intense vocals. Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs adds his touch on two cuts, and a solid rhythm section backs the acoustic instruments. This limited - edition LP is pressed on 180g orange vinyl, comes in a reverse board sleeve with printed lyrics inside, and includes a digital download. It's from the Dead Oceans label in 2019.

To use this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and drop the needle gently on the starting groove to enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Keep the LP away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as these can warp the vinyl. After each use, store it back in its sleeve carefully to prevent scratches. The digital download can be accessed by following the instructions provided with the LP. Enjoy this unique music experience!
