Fevers and Mirrors is the third studio album by American indie band Bright Eyes, recorded in 1999 and released on May 29, 2000.
[5] The album begins with a recording of a little boy reading Mitchell Is Moving, a book by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat.
"An Attempt to Tip the Scales" includes what is ostensibly an interview with the band's frontman, Conor Oberst.
However, Oberst has admitted that the interview was something of a joke, intended to poke fun at the dark tone of the album.
The music online magazine Pitchfork placed Fevers and Mirrors at number 170 on its list of top 200 albums of the 2000s,[11] despite a low initial score of 5.4/10.
