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.

    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.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
