Massive Chill
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 by luke
Today I thought I would post a selection of chilling out songs. First up is a track from Conor Oberst's (aka Bright Eyes) called Souled Out!!!. I have been meaning to post this track for a while, I think it's a great track.
You might be asking yourself, what is the difference between Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes? I asked myself the same question. Officially the band is called Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. The band is made up of Conor and Nate Walcott from Bright Eyes and a few others who make up the Mystic Valley Band.
If you compare this to Bright Eyes, the music has a slightly happier feel, with the lyrics being a little less dark and confronting.
Conor and the other band members re-located to Mexico to record this self titled album, so maybe the change of location changed his perception and consequently the lyrics, either way, as Bright Eyes or Conor Oberst, he makes excellent music that makes you think.
The next couple of tracks are going back to 1994 and are from Massive Attack’s album Protection. I picked these tracks because, they are a couple of favourites of mine, for when I just want to chill out.

Nothing quite like Tracy Thorns voice in Protection.
