Don’t Be Frightened of Turning the Page

Bright Eyes

Stripped-back, tape-hiss folk that feels like reading a private diary. Raw acoustic guitars and a voice constantly on the verge of breaking.

September 21, 2000 · Bad News Records

Find on Amazon

A fragile, unvarnished exploration of youth and despair that feels like a cold shiver.

Moments Worth Listening For
The devastatingly quiet admission of buying pills at seventeen during the bridge of No Lies, Just Love.
The way the trumpet enters like a mourning siren on Going for the Gold, cutting through the tape hiss.
The frantic, cyclical repetition of the final lines in Mirrors and Fevers as the EP collapses into static.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
