DESAPARECIDOS - READ MUSIC / SPEAK SPANISH

SADDLE CREEK - LBJ 42 - LP - 2002 - NO INSERTS

Rare and out-of-print vinyl edition of Conner Oberst's other band Desaparecidos' "Read Music/Speak Spanish".  Very hard to find these days.  Sorry, this auction does not include the inserts for the album.  Read about the band below...

Grading: VG++ ... Vinyl is in near mint condition, and looks unplayed.  The jacket has nice corners with average storage wear.  The jacket was not in a plastic protective sleeve for quite some time, and the surfaces on both the front and back of the jacket have some indentations and marks because of this.  One indentation is very easy to see when you angle it with the glare of a light, as if someone dragged their keys across the front.  It's only an indentation, no tears, bends or creases. These are the only flaws.  NM vinyl VG+ jacket.  Labels are mint and show no wear.

Desaparecidos is a 5-piece rock band fronted by Bright Eyes singer/songwriter Conor Oberst (vocals, guitar) and featuring Denver Dalley (guitar), Landon Hedges (bass, vocals), Ian McElroy (keyboards), and Matt Baum (drums). Matt and Ian are familiar to many of you from the various incarnations of Bright Eyes' touring band of which they played in.

Oberst may be better known for his confessional songwriting and storytelling, but Desaparecidos is nothing of the sort. Indeed, similar vocal melodies and song structure are present, but the guitars are loud and distorted, the bass is pounding, and the drums and keyboards round out this hi-energy, pop-rock band without the lyrical focus of personal relationships. Oberst screams out observational commentary about urban development, the sacrafice of human value for the dollar bill, and the new American Dream.

Setting out to capture the rawness of the band, the record was recorded over one week at Presto! Recording Studio in Lincoln with producer Mike Mogis. Bright Eyes fans will love it, but it'll also appeal to anyone who's ever dug At The Drive In, The Pixies, Weezer, Dinosaur Jr., etc.

2. Manana
3. Greater Omaha
4. Man and Wife, The Latter (Damaged Goods)

6. The Happiest Place on Earth
