Bright Eyes Going Sci-Fi With A Touch of the Pixies
. "I really like Margaret Atwood. She wrote The Handmaid's Tale, and she has two books called Oryx and Crake and After the Flood, they're sort of companion pieces -- not sequels, but very similar," Oberst said. "Arthur C. Clarke has the book Childhood of Man, which is kind of a touchstone. Obviously Vonnegut, his stuff. Orson Welles, Jules Verne, all that stuff is interesting to me. Those two in particular really predicted things that were right around the corner, a century ahead." Musically, Oberst said that the new album draws from alt-rock giants the Pixies. "Oh, I love the Pixies," he said. "They have always been an inspiration. Frank Black is the coolest man on the planet. He's always had a sci-fi thing going on. [Black's third solo album] Cult of Ray was supposedly all about Ray Bradbury." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Bright Eyes CDs |
