Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis have partnered in a pubescent version of the Traveling Wilburys and have so far been met with underwhelming response. It's a shame, considering they decided to name their band something worthy of arenas and used their own faces as album art. Never fear, though, the quartet delivers jaunty soft-rock (and better-than-expected) tunes on this long player. Sample "Say Please" at Pitchfork.
