A Fresh Look at a Classic Debut

Everything All the Time is more than just a debut album; it’s a cornerstone of 2000s American indie rock. To honor its legacy, the 20th-anniversary edition, released March 20 via Sub Pop, spruces things up with a treasure trove of rare tracks. For fans who chased down limited-edition EPs or scoured compilations, this new edition gathers elusive songs like the 2005 Tour EP, demos, and even their track “The End’s Not Near” from The O.C. soundtrack.

The first taste of this reissue dropped with the studio version of “(Biding Time Is a) Boat To Row,” a fan favorite from early live shows. The accompanying video, directed by James Ayling of Cape Films and featuring Daisy Jones & the Six star Josh Whitehouse, adds a cinematic layer to the song’s rich vibe.

Producer Phil Ek on Crafting a Timeless Sound

The magic behind Everything All the Time comes in large part from producer Phil Ek, who also remastered this new edition. His dedication to capturing the album’s three-dimensional depth shines through:

“I want records that I produce to feel like you can walk into them, to have a three-dimensional depth. The music should stay as fresh and exciting as the first time you heard it. Achieving this requires a lot of time, trust and effort in the studio, but it pays off in the end. Twenty years on, I still think Everything All the Time exemplifies this fully.”

— Phil Ek

That commitment to authenticity has helped the album endure, growing from an indie darling to a half-million seller with timeless appeal.

The Song That Won Our Hearts: “The Funeral”

If there’s one track synonymous with Band of Horses’ early success, it’s “The Funeral.” With over 458 million streams on Spotify alone, this song has leapt across genres and generations. Not shy about its influence, artists ranging from rapper Kid Cudi and Lil B to electronic producer Gryffin have covered or sampled this haunting anthem.

Ben Bridwell, the band’s frontman, reflects on the impact of the album with heartfelt gratitude:

“This album made all of my dreams come true. Forever grateful for the desperation that fueled its inspiration.”

— Ben Bridwell

It’s a sentiment that resonates for many of us who connected deeply with the raw emotion and sweeping soundscapes of this record.
