Album Notes & Community Reviews
Acting as a conceptual precursor to the 'Cassadaga' full-length, 'Four Winds' highlights Conor Oberst's increasing fascination with traditional country-folk and orchestral Americana. The EP's titular track features sweeping fiddle arrangements and sharp, prophetic lyricism regarding globalization and spiritual decay.
