Band of Horses returns with their sixth studio album, Things Are Great, marking their first release in over five years. Set to debut on January 21, 2022, via BMG, this album showcases a nostalgic return to the band’s roots and the authentic spirit that defines their music.
Under the guidance of founder Ben Bridwell, who took on a more significant production role than ever before, the album is a collaboration with familiar faces like Jason Lytle and Dave Fridmann, alongside new engineer Wolfgang “Wolfie” Zimmerman. This partnership has resulted in a profound emotional experience, with songs crafted during a time of reflection and uncertainty.
Things Are Great delves into personal narratives, exploring the complexities of relationships and the challenges of making things right. Bridwell’s soaring vocals and unique style overlay rich soundscapes that transport listeners into a dreamlike state. The album beautifully balances contrasting themes—strength and vulnerability, hope and despair—while ultimately leaning toward optimism.
