Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band ‘Outer South’ Cover Art

Photobucket

So looks like Conor and the band have decided to go whole-hog and accredit the album to ‘Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band’ unlike the previous album which only mentioned Conor Oberst. It seems only fair as several of the tracks have been contributed by other band members.

Not sure about the significance of Oberst being blindfolded on the cover; maybe it’s some kind of symbolism? Or maybe they’re just having a game of Marco Polo.
