Why Are You OK by Band of Horses
Why Are You OK is an album by Band of Horses, released in 2016. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 31 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Casual Party”, on 16 lists with a best position of #5.
Why Are You OK, Band of Horses' fifth studio album, came out on Interscope on June 10, 2016, with Grandaddy's Jason Lytle in the producer's chair. Ben Bridwell, the band's one constant through a revolving door of lineups, led a crew that still included drummer Creighton Barrett, guitarist Tyler Ramsey and bassist Bill Reynolds, though it would be the last record for Ramsey and Reynolds, who both left on bad terms in 2017.
The record trades grandeur for a rumpled, homespun warmth, with Bridwell sounding wry and a little frazzled, like a guy cracking jokes at the kitchen table at 3 a.m. "Casual Party" led the singles with a wiry, sardonic jangle, followed by "In a Drawer" and "Solemn Oath".
