Today is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, and that means one thing: Black Friday, the busiest, shopping day of the year. While that can make for a less than ideal shopping experience, indie record stores across the country have gotten together to help keep up the holiday cheer with Record Store Day Black Friday, offering unique recordings from some of your favorite artists, including Conor Oberst.

Oberst is on board this year with the release of a special, limited-edition 7" featuring two exclusive tracks recorded during the sessions for his 2014 Nonesuch Records debut album, Upside Down Mountain, that are unavailable anywhere else: "Standing on the Outside Looking In" and "Sugar Street." Rolling Stone said of Upside Down Mountain: "A sumptuous immersion in '70s California folk pop, it is the most immediately charming album he has ever made." The 7” single was cut by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service and pressed at Record Industry in the Netherlands.

To pick up a copy of the 7" while supplies last, head to your local record store. To find a participating shop near you and to find out what other special releases are available this Record Store Day Black Friday, head to recordstoreday.com.

It was just announced that Conor Oberst will join the line-up for the all-star concert celebrating the life and songs of Emmylou Harris at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, in January. Before then, he performs in two special benefit shows: Holiday Cheer for FUV at the Beacon Theatre in New York City December 8, featuring label mate Natalie Merchant, among others; and the KCSN benefit show with Ryan Adams and David Gray at the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge, California, December 12.

    "This was written at a cottage in the English countryside in winter where we had gone on a writing retreat to escape the noise of London," the Staves' Jessica and Camilla Staveley say of their new song, "Sitting By the Fire," out today. "On a cigarette break, Jessica went outside in the dark and could see Camilla through the window, sat at the fireplace writing a song. The song is a photograph of sorts, capturing that moment. We recorded this after we had cut the record [All Now] out in LA. We were back in London and revisited this tune and we felt that it would really be perfect to have [our sister] Emily join us on it to lend her voice to this a cappella recording."

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.
