DESCRIPTION
Between the first and the new Desaparcidos album, Conor Oberst has aged from 22 to 35. If you’ve kept up with his songwriting with Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, or his work as simply Conor Oberst, you’ve noticed maturity has impacted his music on all fronts.

On Read Music/Speak Spanish, Desaparecidos saw themselves in the lineage of the Clash. 13 years later on Payola, they find their inner Sex Pistols: more cynical, more in character, taking advantage of no-win, no-future situations to create potent, punk rock theater. It is by far Conor Oberst’s most fun record. Because really, it’s his only fun record.
