"Sausalito" comes from Conor Oberst, the self-titled solo album the Bright Eyes frontman put out on Merge in August 2008, his first under his own name in twelve years. He wrote it, sings it and plays guitar, with Nik Freitas on electric guitar, Macey Taylor on bass and backing vocals and Jason Boesel on drums. A new band was pulled together for the album, and in time it got a name: the Mystic Valley Band.
The record was cut early in 2008 in Tepoztlán, in Mexico's Morelos state, in a makeshift studio set up at Valle Místico, a villa in the mountains just outside town. Oberst produced it himself, with longtime collaborator Andy LeMaster engineering.
