Separated at birth?

Anyone who knows anything....(kidding) knows who Conor Oberst is. Former frontman of Desaparecidos, Bright Eyes, Commander Venus, Park Ave, flew solo, chilled with The Mystic Valley Band, and now his current project Monsters of Folk (collaboration of other indie frontmen). Oberst has been around for quite some time. Of course, he can never ever be replaced, but there is a new artist. An artist, that I think carries an uncanny resemblance and sound.

Conor J. O'Brien, frontman of Villagers, entered the scene not too long ago with the debut album " Becoming a Jackal ", also the title of Villagers' first single. Needless to say, both artists are of equal greatness, Oberst has just been around far longer.

Though, I do have one question. Were they separated at birth? Because, they have the same name, they're both Irish, their voices are slightly different but more the same. Their appearances...well...I'll let you be the judge.

Either way.
I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to see what else Mr. O'Brien graces our ears with.
