Bright Eyes released the 2007 album Cassadaga, although the album itself was recorded in studios and other locations rather than at a spiritualist camp. The title refers to Cassadaga, Florida, a community known for its spiritualist traditions, and Conor Oberst spent time there; that association is the source of the quiz clue.
Cassadaga was Bright Eyes’ eighth studio album and followed the highly praised I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. Released in April 2007 through Saddle Creek, it expanded the group’s folk-rock sound with orchestration, strings, pedal steel, brass, and contributions from musicians including M. Ward, Gillian Welch, and Janet Weiss.
The sessions took place across locations including New York City, Portland, and Lincoln, Nebraska, with Mike Mogis producing. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, the band’s highest U.S. chart position at that point. The key distinction is that Cassadaga inspired the album’s name and themes; it was not literally recorded at the camp.
