Band of Horses Review

Recently I came across the debut album,Everything All The Time, from Band of Horses.I was instantly blown away.Formed in 2004,BoH is a Seattle based Indie/Folk Rock band founded by singer/guitarist Ben Bridwell and bassist Mat Brooke after the break up of their former band,Carissa's Weird.BoH is remenecent of bands such as The Shins,Built to Spill,and Modest mouse,yet bring their own delicious flavor to the table."Everything All The Time" has a shimmering and trancendent sound that easily flows from upbeat shoe tapping jams, such as the tracks "Wicked Gil" and "Weed Party" to the beautiful meloncholy melodies "The Funeral" and "St. Augustine".To some,Bridwell's high-piched vocal stylings,may take a few listens to truly sink in.But once it does,it will find a permenant home within the listener.Although the album contains a couple of tracks that are somewhat forgettable,it can still be played from beginning to end without the listener ever having to get up and skip a track.
