Desaparecidos
Read Music/Speak Spanish
(Saddle Creek, February 11th)

Whoever said youth is wasted on the young obviously never
heard of Desaparecidos.

Born 1980 in Nebraska and recording since he was 13, Conor
Oberst is the most promising voice of his generation
frustrated, disillusioned, and quaking with tumultuous
energy. As the mastermind behind the acclaimed Bright Eyes
collective, three full-lengths and two EPs including 2000’s
Fevers and Mirrors and letting off the Happiness secured
Oberst’s reputation for being at the cusp of indie rock’s

However, where Bright Eyes sent you on a cathartic,
tear-jerking journey through the winding roads of
interpersonal relationships, Desaparecidos charges and
grumbles through the littered, Starbucks-friendly freeways
of urban sprawl. With fellow Omaha musician and
co-songwriter Denver Dalley by Oberst’s side on Read
Music/Speak Spanish, Desaparecidos rocks steady and hard in
true wall-of-sound style, capturing the primal power
inherent in coming-of-age youth. But it’s not just youth in
general it’s those raised in America during the
consumer-first, "Me"-minded commercial climate of the 1980s.
With little bits of conversation and static woven into Read
Music/Speak Spanish, Desaparecidos calls upon the television
that raised them.

Oberst may be known for confessional songwriting and
storytelling, but Desaparecidos is nothing of the sort.
Full-bodied guitars crunch down on top of weighted bass
lines and deliberate drumming. Oberst screams out
observational, political commentary about urban development,
the sacrifice of human value for the dollar bill, and the
new American Dream: "I’m overflowing with ambition/ But I
gotta keep in mind the bottom line/ Is the dollar signs,"
growls Conor on "$$$$."

Along with Oberst (vocals, guitar) and Dalley (guitar),
Desaparecidos features Landon Hedges (bass), Ian McElroy
(keys), and Matt Baum (drums). Matt and Ian have previously
toured live with Bright Eyes. Setting out to grasp the
rawness of Desaparecidos, Read Music/Speak Spanish was
recorded over one week at Presto! Recording Studio in
Lincoln, Nebraska with producer Mike Mogis. Bright Eyes fans
will certainly love it, but it'll also appeal to anyone
who's ever dug At The Drive In, The Pixies, Weezer, Dinosaur

Desaparecidos will tour from January 23 to February 23
(hitting major cities like Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles,
Seattle, San Diego and more!) before Conor heads back into
the studio to finish up the next Bright Eyes record, due out

No.  Time.  Title.
