Cassadaga

Bright Eyes

A cinematic pivot toward Americana and spiritualism. Lush orchestral folk recorded with a wide-angle lens, smelling of desert sage and old wood.

April 7, 2007

Find on Amazon

A grand, mystical searching that feels both deeply personal and as wide as the American West.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic fiddle solo that erupts during the climax of Four Winds.
The eerie spoken word introduction about psychic vortexes in Cassadaga.
The sudden swell of choral backing vocals on Make a Plan to Love Me.
The devastatingly quiet final breath of Lime Tree as the strings fade.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

Contemplative saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
