Release Notes:

Achieving musical transcendence is a tricky feat, almost definitively. If it
happens at all, it happens naturally - and perhaps nobody knows that better
than Seattle, Washington’s Band of Horses. Guitarist/vocalist Ben Bridwell
and bassist Mat Brooke formed Band of Horses in 2004, after the dissolution
of their nearly ten-year run in northwest melancholic darlings Carissa’s
Wierd. Carissa’s Wierd trafficked in sadly beautiful orchestral pop, whose
songs told unflinching stories of heartbreak and loss, leavened with
defeatist humor. And, Band of Horses rises from the ashes of that well-loved
band. After playing music with each other for over a decade, Bridwell and
Brooke picked up together again when Bridwell began fleshing out his
compositions post-Carissa’s. "It was really just a natural thing we started
doing," explains Bridwell. Buoyed by Bridwell’s warm, reverb-heavy vocals
(which strangely channel a dichotomous blend of Wayne Coyne, Brian Wilson
and Doug Martsch,) Band of Horses’ woodsy, dreamy songs ooze with amorphous
tension, longing and hope. At times raggedly epic ("The Great Salt Lake")
and delicately pensive ("St. Augustine," "Monsters"), Everything All the
Time is an album painted gorgeously in fragile highs and lows.
