Letting Off The Happiness is the pivotal second studio album from Bright Eyes, originally released in 1998 and marking a significant moment in the band’s evolution. Featuring the introspective songwriting and emotionally charged vocals of Conor Oberst, this album seamlessly weaves together both energetic bursts and quieter, contemplative passages, highlighting the band’s early exploration into indie rock and subtle electronics.
This 2012 reissue brings new depth to the classic album, including a hidden bonus track—“Contrast and Compare (Version)”—that adds a unique touch exclusive to this vinyl edition. With the distinct production of Mike Mogis and a tracklist that flows effortlessly from start to finish, Letting Off The Happiness stands as a testament to Bright Eyes’ raw storytelling and experimental sound.
