January 25, 2005 saw the release of two distinctly different Bright Eyes albums: the folk-influenced "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" and the electronic-pop inflected "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn". An extensive world tour followed the release of those albums. Part one of the tour was in support of "I'm Wide Awake" and the second part was in support of "Digital Ash". The first part was more similar to past tours with an intimate band setting. The decision to split the tour this way was practical as it would have been a "logistical nightmare" in terms of equipment and staff to perform songs from both albums simultaneously. By the end of January 2005, "I'm Wide Awake" was No. 10 on the "Billboard" charts while "Digital Ash" was No. 15.
