After a release with punk outfit Desaparecidos, Conor Oberst will offer up a solo album entitled Ruminations on October 14 via Nonesuch.

Recorded in his hometown of Omaha, NE, Oberst says, “I wasn’t expecting to write a record. I honestly wasn’t expecting to do much of anything. Winter in Omaha can have a paralyzing effect on a person but in this case it worked in my favor. I was just staying up late every night playing piano and watching the snow pile up outside the window.”

Oberst will support the album with a host of solo performances including stop at New York’s Carnegie Hall and Chicago’s Thalia Hall, among others.
