Zevende album. Uit 2005. Kwam tegen alle commerciële wetten in gelijktijdig uit met ‘I’m Wide Awake…’. Al jaren had Conor Oberst het idee om een meer elektronisch album te maken. Pitchfork: But where a Björk would have tackled this by flitting around the world to find the hottest club DJs and the coldest Inuit choirs, Oberst put the record together with a small crew of his buddies: While Jimmy Tamborello of the Postal Service co-produced the first single, "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Nick Zinner. Rolling Stone: …a more self-conscious studio experiment, with Kid A-inspired synth diddles.
