Video: Conor Oberst - "Souled Out!!!"

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band sure look like they're having a fun time in this video for "Souled Out!!!" from Oberst's self-titled solo album—out now on Merge. The smiles are contagious as Conor and the band goof around in front of projected backdrops, lyp-synching the freewheelin' country rock tune.
