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 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is out now on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
