Double Vinyl LP With Side-D Etching!
Newly Remastered With Five Bonus Tracks!
Conor Oberst's critically acclaimed 2016 solo album, Ruminations, will be released in a newly remastered double-LP expanded edition featuring five bonus tracks, four previously unreleased, as well as an etching on side D. The five bonus tracks were recorded during the Ruminations sessions; while full-band versions of them were released on the 2017 companion album Salutations, these solo acoustic recordings are now included for the first time on Ruminations.
Ruminations was recorded in the winter of 2016, when Oberst found himself hibernating in his hometown of Omaha after living in New York City for more than a decade. He emerged with the unexpectedly raw, unadorned album, which NPR called one of his "most personal records...a collection of brave, dark songs...unmistakably moving and contain[ing] some of Oberst's best lyrics and imagery." The UK's Sunday Times further said it was his "rawest album yet....Political and very, very personal," calling Oberst "one of the best songwriters around."
