Bright Eyes shine with new music


Editor

Instrumental melodies, impressive guitar riffs, and sensitive vocals dominate “Cassadaga,” the new album from indie rocker, Conor Oberst. In the past, Bright Eyes has won over fans with songs that explore the innermost personal feelings of songwriter Oberst. From death and suicide to broken hearts, Bright Eyes knows the themes to make your stomach turn and eyes water.
           
"Cassadaga" is filled with 13 tracks that rock, move and soothe ears to various levels. Music varies from angst-written rough guitar notes to the most relaxing instrumentals that put your mind into a deep state of euphoria.

Overall, Oberst has followed up a successful musical career on the indie circuit with another triumphant album. Bright Eyes fans will be more than pleased and newcomers will be hypnotized by the melodic rhythms.

Rating: 4/5
