Conor Oberst Releases New Track “Governor’s Ball” From New Album ‘Upside Down Mountain’

Conor Oberst has released a new track “Governor’s Ball” from his new solo record Upside Down Mountain, which is out on May 19th via Nonesuch Records.

Upside Down Mountain features many other friends of Oberst’s, including producer Jonathan Wilson, engineer Andy LeMaster, bassist Macey Taylor, multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills, and the Swedish sibling folk-rock vocal duo First Aid Kit. What started as exploratory demos with producer-musician Jonathan Wilson at his Fivestar Studios in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, in a home Wilson rents from Oberst, became the first de facto album sessions. Returning to his native Omaha, Nebraska, Oberst kept rolling with the help of frequent collaborator, engineer, and friend Andy LeMaster at his own ARC Studios. Even more tracking followed in Omaha last November and December. Then Oberst and Wilson moved south to Blackbird Studio in Nashville.

  1. Conor + First Aid Kit! Can’t wait to hear that track. First Aid Kit has been all over my radar with their new album “Stay Gold” dropping on the 10th
