In 2011, Bright Eyes performed live at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, a period marking a notable moment in their career after a significant hiatus. Prior to this performance, the band released the album "The People's Key" in February 2011, which was their first album in nearly four years since "Cassadaga" in 2007. "The People's Key" showcased a distinct evolution in their sound, incorporating elements of electronic music and ambitious lyrical themes. Furthermore, this live performance of "I Believe In Symmetry," from the "The People's Key" album, highlights Conor Oberst's introspective songwriting against a backdrop of dynamic instrumentation, as the band anchored themselves within the indie-folk scene. The festival appearance also coincided with the band's 2011 tour, reinforcing their return and renewed energy in the music industry after a prolonged period of relative quietness.
