Achieving musical transcendence is a tricky feat. If it happens - a big if - it does so naturally and perhaps nobody knows that better than Band of Horses whose landmark debut Everything All The Time still after twenty years feels as vital and dare we say transcendent as when it came out in 2006. Guitarist/vocalist Ben Bridwell formed Band of Horses in Seattle in 2004 after the end of his nearly ten-year run in northwest melancholic darlings Carissa s Wierd. Carissa s Wierd trafficked in beautiful orchestral pop whose songs told unflinching stories of heartbreak and loss leavened with defeatist humor. Band of Horses rose from the ashes of that well-loved band buoyed by Bridwell s warm reverb-heavy vocals and woodsy dreamy songs oozing with tension longing and hope. Armed with a fresh Sub Pop deal and a smashing batch of songs the band recorded their debut full-length Everything All the Time with producer Phil Ek at Seattle s Avast studios.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.
