Conor Oberst was the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC last night. He was joined by Jonathan Wilson on guitar, Nataniel Walcott on keyboard, Cully Symington on drums and Dan Home on pedal steel to perform "Zigzagging Toward the Light," off his Nonesuch debut album, Upside Down Mountain (which Wilson co-produced with Oberst), released earlier this year.

Oberst recently announced that he will tour Australia in February and March 2015.

He will also perform at the Todos Santos Music Festival in Mexico in January. For details and tickets, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    Jeff Parker's New ETA IVtet Album "The Way Out of Easy' Out Now on International Anthem / Nonesuch

    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.
