Bright Eyes' 2002 breakthrough fourth album, 'Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground', is now on 180-gram double vinyl. Conor Oberst and his Omaha musician friends, like Todd and Clark Baechle of The Faint, Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor of Azure Ray, and others, perfected the indie folk sound here. With 13 intimate, heartfelt, honest, and emotional tracks, it comes in a gatefold sleeve. Features include a 180g black double vinyl pressing, a gatefold sleeve with an obi strip, remastered sound, a download card, and it's from the Saddle Creek label in 2016.
