Bright Eyes es una banda de indie rock conformada por el guitarrista y cantautor Conor Oberst, el multiinstrumentista y productor Mike Mogis, y una alineación rotativa de colaboradores provenientes principalmente de la escena indie de Omaha, Nebraska. La facilidad que tiene Oberst para la crítica social y la filosofía le han hecho ganarse comparaciones con Bob Dylan, aunque sus temas más oscuros, de depresión, ansiedad y alcoholismo tienen más reminiscencias a Leonard Cohen o a Simon Joyner. A pesar de que Bright Eyes pertenece al sello independiente Saddle Creek Records, la banda goza de una popularidad que rivaliza con la de bandas de sellos multinacionales: el 2004 los sencillos Lua y Take it easy (Love nothing) consiguieron los primeros dos lugares del ranking de la revista Billboard simultáneamente a menos de dos semanas de su aparición.
