First Album in Over Half a Decade Marks Return to the Sonics of Breakout Early Work!

Band of Horses return with their sixth album and first in over half a decade! Things Are Great marks a return to their earlier work and the kind of raw ethos that lies at the heart of Band of Horses. Founder Ben Bridwell produced or co-produced all 10 tracks – most of which were written pre-pandemic. Past collaborators Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips), Dave Sardy and engineer Wolfgang "Wolfie" Zimmerman also all make contributions here.

Bridwell comments on lead single "Crutch": "I feel like a variety of my songs, ‘Crutch' begins with one thing from my actual life. Clearly ‘Crutch' means a number of the issues that I used to be depending on. My relationship for one. I feel I wished to say, ‘I've bought a crush on you,' and I believed it was humorous how relationships additionally really feel like crutches. I really feel like everyone has had a time when nothing goes proper and you continue to have to hold on. I feel that feeling hits you on this track even in case you don't know what the specifics are."
