Bright Eyes - Letting Off The Happiness

Letting Off The Happiness is the second studio album by American indie rock band Bright Eyes, originally released in November 1998 via Saddle Creek.

Bright Eyes is an American indie rock band founded by singer songwriter and guitarist Conor Oberst. The band consists of Oberst, multi-instrumentalist and producer Mike Mogis, trumpet and piano player Nate Walcott, and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha's indie music scene.

In January 2020 the band announced that they have signed a new record deal with Dead Oceans and are working on new material.

Ten songs written by Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), a boy from Nebraska, and performed/recorded with assistance from members of Cursive, Drip, Lullaby for the Working Class, Neutral Milk Hotel, of Montreal, Sorry About Dresden, and more.

For those familiar with the work of Bright Eyes, this new record represents a big step forward in terms of fidelity, much in part to the guidance and assistance throughout the recordings by Lullaby's Mike Mogis. For those not familiar with the Bright Eyes sound, this album will serve as a perfect introduction to this chaotic bedroom pop.

Letting Off The Happiness displayed a more focused and clearer sound than the previous album.

This album is a 2012 reissue on 180 gram black vinyl with a CD album copy, pressed in the US via Saddle Creek.
