Band of Horses sixth studio album and first record in more than five years. Sonically, the album is a return to theirearlier work and the kind of raw ethos that lies at the heart of Band of Horses. Emotionally intense, both on a personal and elemental level, onThings Are Greatwe find band founder Ben Bridwell more autobiographical than hes ever been on record detailing the nebulous frustrations and quiet indignities of relationship changes and what a person will do to make things right.
