Conor Oberst solo album

So I only half listened to this album once (in the car, on the way) before I saw Conor Oberst in Manchester this week, and so I (like everyone else there) was hoping he'd play something... anything off 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning' (he even seemed to tease us with hammer-ons sounding very much like 'First Day...').. and of course he didn't play anything. But he did properly introduce me to this superb album, played extremely tightly with his band. Upbeat tracks such as "Souled Out!!!" and "Get-Well-Cards" sit nicely within the more Bright Eyes formulated eerie songs such as the magnificent "Money Lenders" and "Canaveral".
