This 2004 EP on Crank! showcases Bright Eyes in a more stripped-down, folk-rock mode, offering a concise glimpse into Oberst's prolific songwriting between major studio albums.
- The EP was released on April 20, 2004, by Crank! Records.
- It features four songs, including a cover of the song "St. Ides of March" by American folk singer-songwriter John Prine.
- This release falls between the full-band indie rock of "Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground" and the more acoustic, folk-oriented "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning."
Bright Eyes is the project of Conor Oberst, a singer-songwriter from Omaha, Nebraska, known for his prolific output and raw, confessional lyrics. In 2004, Oberst was at a prolific peak, having released "Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground" the previous year and "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" the following year, with this EP bridging the gap.
