Digital Ash in a Digital Urn is one of two Bright Eyes albums (along with I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning) released on January 25, 2005 by Saddle Creek Records. It peaked at #15 in the U.S. and #43 in the UK. Bright Eyes is headed by Conor Oberst.

Unlike I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, this album has a more electronic feel.

The singles "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" from Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and "Lua" from the album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (also released January 25, 2005) recently took the top two slots on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. This is the first time this has occurred since 1997, when Sean Combs (Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, Diddy) took the number one slot and was featured on a Notorious B.I.G. song which took the number two slot.
