Conor's Basement is a podcast created by two high school friends, Chris and Jesse, as an exploration into the discography of Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst. Along the way, we will provide analysis and our personal interpretations of the songs and lyrics. Each episode is a deep dive into an album or batch of tracks with the goal of starting a dialogue with the die-hards and opening up an avenue for the soon-to-be superfans.

Episode 11.2: ...They Have Those In Conor's Basement Too
Part 2 of 2 of the analysis of Bright Eyes' 2007 release, "Cassadaga."
Like a modern day Mulder and Scully, their investigation into an album of esoteric occultism leads them into unsolved mysteries about the foreshadowing of Bright Eyes' hiatus, cryptic (and not so cryptic) political commentary, and whether or not Conor is a gamer.

Episode 10: Conor's Basement Presents: Four Winds (With Supplemental Material)

Though a short 6 songs, the EP presents us with some challenging string to untangle and webs to connect (or are those just from the spiders down here???) Be sure to subscribe so you're notified when the full Cassadaga episode is released!
