"Oberst faces west and backward, brilliantly, on Upside Down Mountain ... A sumptuous immersion in Seventies California folk pop, it is the most immediately charming album he has ever made."
- Rolling Stone
Singer-songwriter Conor Oberst's solo album, Upside Down Mountain, is out on Nonesuch Records. The album 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.
