Music reviews of Everything All the Time
Music Review: This is Only My Opinion
Rating: 5 Stars
Maybe this is a coincidence, maybe not, but I just noticed something:
Band of Horses
2006 Debut Album = Everything All the Time
First Song = "The First Song"
Built to Spill
1993 Debut Album = Ultimate Alternative Waivers
First Song = "The First Song"
Regardless, with their release of "Everything All the Time" last year, Band of Horses has confidently displayed their potential to act as the forerunner of our beloved Indie Rock sound for the remainder of this decade, much as Built to Spill did in the 90's.
If you like this record, then you need to hear the following albums:
Built to Spill - "Perfect from Now On" & "Keep it like a Secret"
Iron & Wine - "The Creek Drank the Cradle" & "Our Endless Numbered Days"
If you insist on doing your silly I-Pod thing, then simply download the songs "The Funeral" and "I Go to the Barn Cause I Like The", and listen for yourself. If the transitions in these unforgettable songs do no leave you breathless, then there is something wrong with your ears, or maybe your ridiculous I-Pod.
Clearly heavily influenced by both Built to Spill and Iron & Wine, Band of Horses have crafted an album combining both the finest characteristics of the brilliant electric guitar hook, the backbone of indie rock, with the stripped-down acoustic simplicity of a back country road that has never seen electricity. Although Doug Martsch and Sam Beam should be flattered, they must also realize that Band of Horses are attempting to take music to a new level here. No joke.
Other than the lead singers' voices, I do not hear much similarity in the sound of Band of Horses compared to My Morning Jacket. Band of Horses has nailed an extremely complex sound that mesmerizes the listener as both an otherworldly, yet incredibly intimate experience. My Morning Jacket's sound is much more traditional, alt-country, or even classic rock influenced (CCR, The Band), and in my opinion is OK, but a little boring.
If there were anything negative I would have to say about this great debut record, it would be that it is too short. It almost feels like an EP, which inevitably leaves you wanting to hear more. This is good and bad. Hopefully, the next Band of Horses record will more fully develop and expand on the initial ideas and expressions laid down on "Everything all the Time".
And to the reviewer Atom Jack (10/10/06), it might interest you to know that Ben Bridwell is originally from South Carolina. If fact, the band has recently moved back there to record their next album. With this knowledge, one might say that the lyrics to the beautiful song "Part One" are quite meaningful, unlike your idiotic review of this fantastic album.
Description of Everything All the Time
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.This Seattle-based band was formed from the ashes of the incredibly talented Carissa's Wierd [sic], whose mopey and self-deprecating songs were like some magical and baroque combination of the Magnetic Fields, Cat Power, and Leonard Cohen. Longtime friends of Iron and Wine, few fans in their native Pacific Northwest could understand why Carissa's weren't huge. But they weren't, and after three albums and few folks really caring, they naturally broke up. Band of Horses, led by ultra-charming CW bassist Ben Bridwell, is a remarkably different, though just as radically excellent, brand of indie-pop sulk. These songs are anthems to ambivalence, and Bridwell's lovely high-pitched trill will please any fan of Built to Spill, the Shins, and Modest Mouse. It takes a few listens to sink in, but Everything is transcendent, shimmering, layered, and smartass emo-pop fully ready for stadium saturation. --James Conde
