Everything All The Time (LP)
VINYL FORMAT. 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. Band Of Horses rises from those ashes. Buoyed by Bridwell's warm, reverb-heavy vocals (which channel a strange brew of Wayne Coyne, Neil Young, and Doug Martsch), the group's woodsy, dreamy songs ooze with amorphous tension, longing, and hope. Both raggedly epic and delicately pensive, this is an album painted gorgeously in fragile highs and lows.

| it's a razorblade-balancer of a ripper. it's dope. it's your fave new supbob band. it's the one you swing your iPod to when you wanna make love. it's your fave cereal w/ cold milk, coffee, toast, marmalade (i like marmalade), juice, pinners, hash browns, eggs any style. it's SO worth the money, i reviewed it similarly if you like vinyl. it's pretty. | |

| With Everything All the Time, Band of Horses offers up a simple pop-rock record. There are no tricks (unless you consider reverb a trick) or shortcuts on the record. Speaking of the reverb laden vocals, my wife constantly gets them mixed up with My Morning Jacket's most recent record. The fact of the matter is this, Everything All the Time is a catchy record with to the point songwriting. | |

| Everything All The Time marks the promising and solid debut by a band with roots extending long and far into the scene. Ranging with tenacity from whisper-wind simple to sonically dense, Everything's ten tracks showcase an ability to change while remaining consistently attuned. At times the material may come off as recognizably similar to songs you've already heard, but the majesty of Band of Horses has little to do with blazing new audio trails. Rather, the masterful reigning-in of influences allow Band to create an entity all their own. Maybe it's the spirit of the Midwest. Maybe it's a proper sounding balance of folk, rock, and dream pop. Regardless, if you're placing bets on these Horses, let it ride. | |

| It's the perfect album for listening to just before bed, or while drinking tea after a satisfying meal. It's good for the digestion and easy on the nerves. | |

| At first glance you will think that this is a really great album. The second time you listen to it, you might even think it was better then you thought. But after a week of listening to this non-stop, you will realize the chords and vocals used begin to sound the same and you will not like it so much. It's like a cake that looks amazing, but taste so-so. | |

| there's something really refreshing about this album. i wanted to catch Band of Horses at their SXSW SubPop showcase but the line was way too long. i can already see this as a top 10 for 2006. | |

| A sunny album. The Shins comparisons are accurate, with the minor chords and the soaring choruses. But this is less folksy than The Shins. This feels more lyrical and uplifting where The Shins often sound sort of sad, then happy. This is a very pretty record that has withstood the first dozen spins. So far so good. | |

| horses came through the D in attempts to open for iron & wine earlier last year. iron&wine couldn't make it, and naturally, me an the boys were quite bummed. but we received quite a treat instead...band of horses played for free, were loud and crisp, made me laugh, bob my head like a straight scenester, and it was PEACE. they were nice dudes, too, so i bought dude w/ the strong beard a budweiser. the tour EP was a must-have, and i played it over and over. my favorite music snob buddy and i finally found the release date: 3.21.06...we were thrilled, and now that it's here (and really f**kin GOOD), dust has settled and my breath is a little less tense. my heart is at ease. don't even think ONCE, just buy it already. and go see them play. | |
