In this 3 episode epic, Jesse and Chris break down their favorite Bright Eyes album, Fevers and Mirrors. In this episode we explore the first four tracks, "A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, and a Necklace," "A Scale, A Mirror, And Those Indifferent Clocks," "The Calendar Hung Itself," and "Something Vague."
Released in 2000, this album cemented Bright Eyes' place in the Indie scene and brought Conor's raw, emotive lyricism to center stage.
We discuss our theories on the multiple stories being told in the album, peeling back layers of symbols, motifs, and themes that run rampant in its 55 minutes of glory.
WARNING: This album contains potentially triggering stories of depression, grief, and suicide. Please only listen if you feel you are in a headspace to do so. Much love.
