April 24, 2007CassadagaBright Eyes 2007"Since the late 1990s, Nebraska-born Conor Oberst has been releasing music under the banner of Bright Eyes, a loose, ever-shifting collective of players centered around the youthful, prodigiously talented singer-songwriter.

Bright Eye's new album "Cassadaga" is steadily approaching, seeing a release this, haha, well actually seeing a release tomorrow. I guess you can tell how musicaly focused I've been as of late. Life has been a collage of spring break, tests, and radio shows, but i digress.
Cassadaga will make it's way into many a home tomorrow, and the backlash has already begun (at least as I see it) today; seeing a 6.0 review on the fork, who's Brian Howe pretty much wrote Oberst off as ... MORE

I have listened to Cassadaga in its entirety eleven times. I think I just over-dosed on Bright Eyes. Before Cassadaga, I never would have thought this possible. I've always had a love-hate relationship with Bright Eyes. Songs like "Lua" and "Bowl of Oranges" always made me smile while the whining on songs like "Ship in a Bottle" made me cringe.

And it's an appropriate concept for Conor Oberst, the often polarizing neo-pop indie-folkie, as well as a great song.

Echoing all Moggers' endorsement of Cassadaga. Best of 07 contender thus far.
