Everything All the Time is the debut album of indie rock band Band of Horses and was released on March 21, 2006, on Sub Pop Records. It features new versions of five of the six songs from the band's Tour EP, some with different titles.

The album is the only one to feature original band members Mat Brooke, Chris Early and Tim Meinig. Vocalist Ben Bridwell, guitarist Mat Brooke and drummer Sera Cahoone were all members of Carissa's Wierd when the band broke up in 2003.

History

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Joe_ArnoneEdit.jpg" caption="Magnet]]'' - July 23, 2006"] ::

The band performed the first single from the album, "The Funeral", on the Late Show with David Letterman. By that time Brooke, Meinig and Early had all left the band and had been replaced by Joe Arnone (keyboards, guitar), Rob Hampton (guitar, bass) and Creighton Barrett (drums). "The Funeral" has been used extensively in film, TV, video games and advertisements.

The two tracks with lyrics written by Mat Brooke, "I Go to the Barn..." and "St. Augustine" feature co-lead vocals by Brooke and Bridwell although Brooke's vocals are much quieter than Bridwell's. A demo version of "I Go to the Barn..." titled "I'd Like to Think" was recorded by Brooke and Bridwell as Nov 16, a short lived project between Carissa's Wierd and Band of Horses. On the Nov 16 version, Bridwell's vocals are much quieter than Brooke's. Neither "I Go to the Barn..." nor "St. Augustine" were played live after Brooke's 2006 departure from the band until December 2012, when both songs reappeared in their live setlist.

The album was a minor hit in Scandinavia, appearing in the lower reaches of both the Swedish and Norwegian album charts.
