Conor Oberst stopped by the studios of KEXP 90.3 in Seattle late last month while touring the United States with songs from his 2014 Nonesuch Records debut album, Upside Down Mountain. He was joined by Jonathan Wilson, who co-produced the album, and his band to perform four songs off the new album—"Hundreds of Ways," "Zigzagging Toward The Light," "Double Life," and "Common Knowledge"—plus the Bright Eyes tune "We Are Nowhere And It's Now" off the 2005 album I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, and talk with host Cheryl Waters. "We love everything he does," says the station. You can watch the complete session here:

Though the US summer tour may have come to a close, Oberst recently announced that he would perform at two holiday-season benefit shows: Holiday Cheer for FUV at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on December 8 and the KCSN Benefit at the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge, California, on December 12. He will also perform at the Todos Santos Music Festival in Mexico in January. For details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is due April 4. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors—Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell—and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells. Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth—his biggest-yet foray into the field of concert music—"is not a ‘climate change opera,’” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humor, rage.”

    Composer Steve Reich talks about creating his 1970–71 piece Drumming—which the Village Voice hailed as “the most important work of the whole minimalist music movement"—in a new video from his publisher Boosey & Hawkes. Steve Reich and Musicians gave the world premiere performance of Drumming at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in December 1971. Their 1987 Nonesuch recording is included in the forthcoming Steve Reich Collected Works, a twenty-seven disc box set, due March 14.
