Everything All The Time



You probably already have this album, but I just can't risk it...

2006's Everything all the Time (Sub Pop) is the debut for Seattle's Band of Horses and quite the stunner of a debut it was. Ethereal yet accessibly pop-friendly, this indie-rock/ folk influenced album is as complete a debut as you may ever hear. Comprised of equal parts melancholy and hope, it plays like a college radio friendly Neil Young if he were more interested in having the pretty indie chicks in the crowd dance and sway about instead of worrying about Cortes and the fate of the Mayans. Everything ... is a lush and accessible album with a wide range of emotional experiences and if you play it in the car while driving to work you may just forget about how much of a fraud your life has become. At least for a little while anyway.
