Nebraska's
Bright Eyes are graduates from the Midwestern school of Brit-pop. With
Fevers and Mirrors being their third full-length release, a strong adaptation of
Radiohead,
Blur, and
Suede is conveniently wrapped up in a neat lo-fi package. But without completely ripping anyone off,
Bright Eyes feature their own cadence of loose indie and shaky, emotional vocals. The results amount to a catchy collection of elaborate pop that's been perfectly captured on a nickel budget. [
