Band of Horses: Everything All the Time
Label: Sub Pop
The former members of Carissa’s Wierd regroup to form Band of Horses, whose Everything All The Time is a near-perfect rock record, a delicious amalgam of hooks-laden jangle pop and raw guitar rock, part Shins, part Built to Spill, part My Morning Jacket. It’s a remarkably seductive record and its 10 anthemic songs are unassumingly absorbing. There’s nothing groundbreaking on Everything All The Time, but with Ben Bridwell’s high-pitched Neil-ish squawk leading the way, it’s an endlessly compelling record, one we never got sick of playing at the store.
