Last Friday, Band of Horses released their fifth studio album, Why are You OK. I was hyped for this release, but my mood deflated as I listened through it. I loved the singles released in advance- “Casual Party” and “In a Drawer” definitely caught my attention in the weeks leading up to the release. However, I got the feeling of watching a movie whose best moments were given away in the trailer. The songs were good, but I was left wanting more. And I can’t lie, the last few tracks made me drowsy. As much as I wanted to love Why Are You OK, it was just… OK. Sad face.
