Call her Cassadaga: Oberst names new LP
- Artists:
- Bright Eyes »
Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst has revealed that his next album will be called Cassadaga.
'Cassadaga' is a Seneca Indian word meaning "Water beneath the rocks". It is also fairly hard to type.
The record, due out on the 9th of April, will follow new single 'Four Winds', which will be released a week earlier on the 2nd and is also the title track of an mini-album released in the US on March 6th.
Wha? Tracklisting blud:
'Four Winds'
'Reinvent the Wheel'
'Smoke Without Fire'
'Stray Dog Freedom'
'Cartoon Blues'
'Tourist Trap'
An album track they calls it 'Endless Entertainment' can be downloaded from here, while Conor had this to say of his next record:
“We’re really wanting to be experimental with this one. Sort of folky and trippy and hopefully a little more cosmic.”
Like Jamiroquai cosmic?

is a tuesday, which makes that a US release only.
boooooooo.
.
so its probably march 5th here.
wooooo.
nah
we'll be getting a CD / 7" release with the tracks spread across it, i would imagine.
I can't hear it...
It kinda went crazy and said that I used my one play.
buy it on import?
imports are more fun anyway. and cheaper.
Didn't he play this on the 'Wide Awake Tour'?
Live versions of this have been floating around the net for a while. I'm sure I remember him playing it on the tour he did for I'm Wide Awake It's Morning.
I like it but I'm worried the new album is going to sound just like an extension of I'm Wide Awake, whcih would still be great I guess.
Yeah it was
it was going around as 'Carrot/Diamond/Jump Off' as far as I remember. It sounds a bit like Loose Leaves, I don't think it really has the same tone as the stuff off I'm Wide Awake though.
Hmm
I've heard versions of 'no one would riot for less' and 'I must belong somewhere' both of which sounded like they could have been on 'I'm Wide Awake'.
Maybe it's just because hearing them live on that tour I just associate them with that album.
I like the folky stuff, don't get me wrong... but I was hoping he'd go in a different direction this time.
I like this
It's happy and I think it's quite different to I'm Wide Awake. The production sounds a lot different. It's a lot less rough sounding which works well but is also sort of a shame.
