Bright Eyes went on an unofficial hiatus after the release of "Cassadaga" in 2007. During 2008 and 2009, Oberst recorded music and toured in support of his other music projects, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band and supergroup Monsters of Folk. In a June 2009 issue of "Rolling Stone", Oberst announced that he wanted to "retire" the Bright Eyes moniker, and would be making one final album with the band: "It does feel like it needs to stop at some point. I'd like to clean it up, lock the door, say goodbye." Saddle Creek Records reissued their Neva Dinova split "One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels" on March 23, 2010 with four brand-new songs recorded in late 2009.
