Bright Eyes is an American indie rock band founded by singer-songwriter and guitarist Conor Oberst. The band consists of Conor Oberst, multi-instrumentalist and producer Mike Mogis, trumpet and piano player Nate Walcott, and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha's indie music scene. Bright Eyes is signed to Saddle Creek Records, a Nebraska-based label founded by Conor Oberst's brother Justin Oberst and Bright Eyes member Mike Mogis. They were active from 1995–2011 and have recently made a comeback in 2020.

Known for their introspective lyrics and unique sound, Bright Eyes has influenced many artists in the indie rock genre. Some similar artists include The Good Life, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Cursive, Neva Dinova, Okkervil River, and more. Their music combines elements of folk, rock, country, and experimental sounds to create a distinct musical experience.

With their heartfelt performances and thought-provoking songs, Bright Eyes has garnered a dedicated fan base over the years. Whether you're new to their music or a long-time fan, exploring their discography will take you on an emotional journey filled with raw honesty and beautiful melodies.

Spoon is a music label established by Hildegard Schmidt in 1980. Hildegard was the manager of the influential Krautrock group Can and started Spoon to release their group, solo, and side-project material.

The early pressings of Spoon releases had a simplistic black on white label with no logo. The label name, Spoon-Records, was displayed boldly with the address 5000 Köln 30 underneath. Later pressings added an LC code (LC 7395) on the left of the label and revised the address slightly to D-5000 Köln 30. French (Celluloid) and Italian (Base Record) issues were released from 1981 onwards.

In the mid/late 1980s, Mute Records took up UK distribution for Spoon. In 1989, CD versions of Spoon releases were introduced with basic black print labels and no logos. These CDs were made in Switzerland and featured SPOON as part of the catalogue number. In 1991, when Mute took up international distribution, a logo for Spoon was introduced - block split inverse capitals in a box - appearing on vinyl labels (white or black inverse labels since 1999) and on CD labels.

An unexpected reunion from Can (made even more unexpected by the presence of original singer Malcolm Mooney, who left the band in 1969), 1989's Rite Time is in large part a return to form for the group. Wisely, the quintet doesn't try to replicate the sound they created over two decades before on albums like Monster Movie. Instead, Mooney and company make 'Rite Time' a document of where they're at musically at the time. In short, it's funkier ('Give the Drummer Some'), funnier ('Hoolah Hoolah,' which takes that old schoolyard rhyme about how they don't wear pants on the other side of France as the jumping-off point for its melody and lyrics), and more abstractly ambient (the elliptical closer 'In the Distance lies the Future') than before. Rite Time doesn't have the rubbery, polyrhythmic intensity of classic can albums like Ege Bamyasi or Future Days, but it's a solidly listenable album that, unlike the majority of reunion albums, doesn't soil the memory of the band.
