RECORD OF THE WEEK - BRIGHT EYES, The People's Key

IT’S been four years since Bright Eyes last released an album but Conor Oberst has used the time well. He fell out of love with rootsy Americana, worked on a couple of side projects and returned with The People’s Key – an exploration of the universe and everything in it through the medium of synth-pop. There’s much more to it than this, ethereal lyrics, a touch of their old selves in the acoustic title track and an ode (of sorts) to Haile Selassi. (Out this week).
