Conor Oberst’s self-titled LP is scheduled for release 8/5, but it was available on CD in Brazil last week. At least that’s what the folky told his audience after spotting a copy at Studio SP in Sao Paulo on the opening night of his current tour. (It leaked to torrent sites over the weekend.) Backed by his Mystic Valley Band, Conor performed a handful of new songs including “Eagle On A Pole” and “Get-Well-Cards.” We’ve got YouTube of those, along with an MP3 from the album, after the jump.
“Get-Well-Cards”
“Eagle On a Pole” > “Falling Out Of Love”

Danny Callahan is good………..really good. Little Conor is growing up nicely.
i bet his ego is growing nicely, as well.
Good good record. A real return to form.
Great performance….the album is going to be AMAZING!!! Too bad they wont be coming to Florida
Mr. Oberst decided that more people wanted to hear him in Croatia and Czech Republic than in the South East of America. That’s very logical.
conor oberst. NOBODY CARES.
Agreed.
I listen to his new stuff and more recent Bright Eyes and the guys talent is pretty clear in many songs. But then I watch videos like this and see he’s really nothing but an irritating little manboy.
If for once people put aside the idea of conor as some sort of emo weed, they would maybe see that he’s probably one of the most progressive/fearless musicians around. And just fairly good at what he does. Man, like Dylan isnt a cranky bitch and the guy from Le Savy Fav isn’t a fat dickhead.
