Cassadaga means rocks beneath the water
The new Bright Eyes came out today and I got a chance to listen to most of the album this afternoon. Its a softer sound than a lot of the old stuff: a lot of acoustic guitar and piano. Still this is Connor Oberst and his lyrics give an energy to the songs that goes above and beyond what the music itself conveys. While this cd doesn't have the twelve piece ensemble that Bright Eyes is known for, Mogus and Wolcott really do a lot to make a relatively simple group of instruments sound like more. My favorite songs so far are Coat Check Dream Song, I Must Belong Somewhere, and Soul Singer in a Session Band.
GA and Thunder go ahead and ignore this because I know you two don't give a shit.
