"Digital Ash in a Digital Urn," released in 2005, saw Bright Eyes experimenting with electronic elements and a more urgent punk-influenced sound, a stark contrast to its folk-heavy predecessor. The album was recorded concurrently with "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" but presents a distinctly different artistic statement.
- "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn" was recorded during the same sessions as "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" at the famous Omaha Saddle Creek studio.
- The album peaked at number 54 on the Billboard 200 chart.
- The release date of January 25, 2005, made it the second of two concurrent Bright Eyes albums released within two months.
Bright Eyes is the project of Conor Oberst, a singer-songwriter from Omaha, Nebraska, known for his prolific output and emotionally raw indie rock. In 2005, Bright Eyes was at a commercial peak, following the success of 2004's "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning."
