About Letting Off The Happiness
Bright Eyes’ second album, Letting Off The Happiness, was released in 1998, and it’s often considered one of the band’s defining works. The album is a collection of deeply personal and introspective songs, full of raw emotion and powerful lyricism. Throughout the record, frontman Conor Oberst delves into themes of love, loss, and isolation, with his signature confessional style and vivid storytelling.
The music on Letting Off The Happiness is stripped down and intimate, with acoustic guitars and gentle percussion providing a backdrop for Oberst’s poignant lyrics. But the album also features moments of experimentation and sonic exploration, with unconventional instrumentation and unexpected musical twists adding depth and texture to the songs.
Letting Off The Happiness is a powerful and affecting album, showcasing Bright Eyes’ unique ability to merge raw emotional honesty with intricate musical arrangements. It’s a record that has stood the test of time, and remains a touchstone for fans of indie and folk music.
